It was discussed before a couple of weeks ago, and I didn't hear
anybody on the other side. I could be mistaken though.

Anyway, if we're going to -Wall'ify the kernel (as we should)
then we need to update sytle(9) to reflect that.

In fact, style(9) should say:

  If at all possible, your code should compile without warnings
  when the gcc -Wall flag is given.

As it stands now (and I QUOTE!) it says:

    Don't use parentheses unless they're required for precedence, or
    the statement is really confusing without them.

             a = b->c[0] + ~d == (e || f) || g && h ? i : j >> 1;

That's ridiculous!

If you're telling me that line is not 'really confusing' then..
hell, I don't know what. I guess I just strongly disagree.
