Oh dear, I'll probably get horribly flamed for saying so, but I disagree
with the Ada(83) decision to require that "and" and "or" operators
appearing within the same statement also require parenthesis.
I think that, as in C, "and" should be given a higher precedence than
"or", analogous to how "*" is given a higher precedence than "+".

Evolution is as well documented as any phenomenon in science, as
strongly as the earth's revolution around the sun rather than vice
versa.
