*looks up operator precedence table because is coding in some cloddish language where you just have to guess what ever which way things are supposed to happen*

@neauoire in these cases I usually add unnecessary parens where I want them. Is that an option?

@hpincket I ended up using parens, but it makes the code look very funny. Context: In erlang, "catch" happens after ==, but before = !

Which, is utterly barbaric.

@neauoire as long as some linter doesn’t complain about my unnecessary parens, I’m happy

@neauoire @hpincket Why? You are reading that as `=` and `!` and not as a single "not equal" operator?

@neauoire according to the table in section 8.25 http://erlang.org/documentation/doc-6.0/doc/reference_manual/expressions.html they both apply before catch
