Built-in Types, Exceptions and Functions
****************************************

Names for built-in exceptions and functions are found in a separate
symbol table.  This table is searched last when the interpreter looks
up the meaning of a name, so local and global user-defined names can
override built-in names.  Built-in types are described together here
for easy reference.(1)

The tables in this chapter document the priorities of operators by
listing them in order of ascending priority (within a table) and
grouping operators that have the same priority in the same box.  Binary
operators of the same priority group from left to right.  (Unary
operators group from right to left, but there you have no real choice.)
See chapter 5 of the  for the complete picture on operator priorities.

(1)  Most descriptions sorely lack explanations of the exceptions that
may be raised -- this will be fixed in a future version of this manual.
