/= had unexpected high precedence. "x /= 2*3" parsed as "(x /= 2) * 3"

I'd expect the results the Prime gets since division and multiplication are performed left to right.

Based on common usage in 'C' like languages, I would expect /= to have the same precedence as simple assignment.

I think we can at least agree that the manuals do a lousy job at documenting operator precedence and associativity.
