The thing about "and" and "or" is that there is obvious grouping--it stems from boolean logic where there is an order of operations ('or' is like '+' and 'and' is like '\*'). There's really no excuse to pander to people that can't or won't memorize the order of operations for boolean logic.

BTW, I don't like coming across super critical, but this is a pet peeve of mine. This particular issue really gets under my skin (I always pass -Wnoparenthases to gcc). Overall I am very impressed with Gorillascript. I love the macros, the functional programming stuff and the basic terseness of it all.
