How so? If we give 'or' (and hence 'and') a higher priority --
i.e. binding tighter -- than 'if' and 'else', it's unambiguous to the
parser and also consistent with the if statement:
if x and y:
print 1
else
print 0
means the same as
print 1 if x and y else 0
This is also similar to how lambda groups relative to and/or (and/or
has a higher priority).
I'm not sure yet how lambda and if/else should group relative to each
other.
