Old request 267658 Emphasize operator precedence for "a" over "-o" in manpage

[Andreas Metzler]

Hello,

I have been looking on old Debian bugs and have stumbled over 267658
(wishlist!):

| Come to think of it some reminder in man page for the operator
| precedence will be nice.

This would be easy to implement by adding an example:

--- a/find/find.1
+++ b/find/find.1
@@ -1505,7 +1505,13 @@ an error has already occurred.

 .SS OPERATORS
 .P
-Listed in order of decreasing precedence:
+Listed in order of decreasing precedence (.i.e.
+"find \fIexpr1\fR -o \fIexpr2\fR \fIexpr3\fR"
+equals
+"find \fIexpr1\fR -o \fIexpr2\fR -a \fIexpr3\fR"
+equals
+"find \fIexpr1\fR -o ( \fIexpr2\fR -a \fIexpr3\fR" )
+):

 .IP "( \fIexpr\fR )"


However I am not sure this is actually an improvement. If I was
considering operator precedence I would have looked at this part of
the manpage before, OTOH if I combined operators with -a and -o
without thinking about precedence an unlooked at part of the manpage
would not help. 

What do you think?
