Yes, but given left-associativity, the _result_ of giving them equal
precedence is actually to give, in an expression containing only `*' and
`/', `/' higher precedence, is it not?  The important consequence of
that is that in a product of rational numbers devoid of parentheses,
the rational numbers get actually recognized and treated as rational
numbers, in as far as the result is concerned, regardless of how the
actual algorithm achieves this (precedence or left-associativity).

Sincerely,

Luc.
