If we're going to changes any precedence in the language, please please 
please can we look at the ternary operator associativity?

I think making it non-associative, so that you have to use parentheses 
in "$a ? $b : $c ? $d : $e" would break very little code, in an obvious 
way, and help with a major pain point people have with the language.
