Consider:

B := True = 5 = 5;

If you write it as:

B := (True = 5) = 5;

you will get at compile time:

tests.adb:6:16: invalid operand types for operator "="
tests.adb:6:16: left operand has type universal integer
tests.adb:6:16: right operand has type "Standard.Boolean"

but change it to:

B := True = (5 = 5);

and it will be legal.
