Patch applied in r26597. I made a few modifications before
applying:
- Updated the precedence of postfix:++ and postfix:-- to match
- Fixed the relational ops to use e.g., infix:«>» instead of 'infix:>'
(to preserve Perl 6 syntax in the grammar)
- Fixed the tests for relational ops to follow Perl 6 semantics.
In particular, in Perl 6 the expression 1 < 2 == 1 will always
evaluate to false because relational ops are chained and 2 is
never equal to 1. (For a couple of reasons NQP doesn't implement
chained relational ops just yet so the above "appears" to work,
but we should still restrict ourselves to Perl 6 semantics.
Perhaps for now we should force the relational operators to be
non-associative so people don't inadvertently expect them to
associate the old-fashioned way.)
Thanks for the excellent patch!
