Too late, I put a table with the operator precedences in my NASL2
reference manual :-]

I already changed at least two things if we compare with C:
1. All "compare" operators have the same precedence, but you cannot
associate them, so it does not really matter (i.e. "x <= y == w <= z" is
lawful in C, but not in NASL2)
2. The bitwise and/or operators have a higher precedence than in C. In
NASL2, "x & y == z" is "(x & y) == z"; in C, it is "x & (y == z)"
(that's why you always have to use parenthesis in C for this. Silly,
no?)

Anyway, it seems that there are more vote for "keep ! as in C" than the
contrary. Renaud, any comment?
