If the side-effect doesn't matter, I prefer to use this:

(ie. whitespace).  Most compilers do a good job of optimizing it.  :>>  

But seriously, I think you meant to say,

In which case, I can't think of any particular reason other than
personal preference.  and possible the precedence business that another
poster mentioned...
