Use of multiple || and precidence
I have made a change so that all operators except "+-*/%" are now
left-associative, rather than being non-associative:
select 'a' || 'b' || 'c';
The old code does:
test=> select 'a' || 'b' || 'c';
ERROR: parser: parse error at or near "||"
Is this a problem for people? It will now not complain about missing
parens, but left-associate all these operations. Any problems with
that?
The code still associates "+-*/%" so that "*/%" is done first, then
"+-".
