If it is not easy to define the order for the specs,
then it will not be easy to learn,
then near to nobody will know of or rely on the definition in the 
specs.

Remember that even M$ recommends to fully parenthese expressions 
<because others might not know how to evaluate expressions without 
parentheses>.

You once said, that you want to prohibit the upcoming of D-guru's. But 
if you yourself are not able to immediately sketch such order here, 
then you have the proof of upcoming gurus.


If it is not easy to code then above arguments holds for compiler 
writers too.
