Order of evaluation and parentheses

[Chris Torek]

Incidentally, while FORTRAN does require the compiler to obey
parentheses grouping in determining order of evaluation, it is
worthwhile to note that FORTRAN also does not have a preprocessor
that often introduces `extra' parentheses.  One does not write

	#define max(a, b) ((a) > (b) ? (a) : (b))

in FORTRAN.
