My formulation was ambiguous, it is the same precedence as the
link says. The link also says that's it's right to left
evaluation. This means that for expression:
a ? b = c : d = e;
right to left evaluation will make the = e assignment higher
priority than the b = c assignment or the ternary even if they
have the same priority level. The operative word was the right to
left but granted I could have formulated it better.
