Parsing vs. Evaluation

[David Olix]

OK!  Enough already!  Apparently I misunderstood the concept of grouping of
operators when it comes to parsing and evaluation.  Namely, the expression

 a != b

does not guarantee that a gets evaluated before b at runtime.  I understand
now what all of you have been trying to tell me.  Thanks, and, please, no
more followups or mail! :-)  I hath been set upon the right path again!

Hey, we all learn from our mistakes, right?
