"I agree this is a nasty one, and Ada as a Second Language explicitly
warns about it (bottom of page 245), as well as about the only slightly
less insidious
A+B mod C
(which means A + (B mod C))."
I find that completely dubious, apart from the spacing (which would be
a factor even in A+B * C), it seems clear that one expects mod to have
a similar precedence to multiplication or division.
