Man Page: Confusing wording


From: Lars Krueger

   Versions:
   GNU bash, version 4.4.12(1)-release (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu)
   Gentoo Linux, amd64

   Bug:
   The line

       Of these list operators, && and || have equal precedence, followed
   by ; and &, which have equal precedence.

   in the man page is rather confusing. I had to refresh my bison and
   check parser.y to understand it. :-) I think, the following would be
   easier to understand.

       Of these list operators, && and || have equal precedence to each
   other, and higher precedence to both ; and &. The operators ; and &
   have equal precedence to each other.
