 the ``if``, ``elseif`` and :command:`while` clauses.
 
 Compound conditions are evaluated in the following order of precedence:
-Innermost parentheses are evaluated first. Next come unary tests such
-as `EXISTS`_, `COMMAND`_, and `DEFINED`_.  Then binary tests such as
-`EQUAL`_, `LESS`_, `LESS_EQUAL`_, `GREATER`_, `GREATER_EQUAL`_,
-`STREQUAL`_, `STRLESS`_, `STRLESS_EQUAL`_, `STRGREATER`_,
-`STRGREATER_EQUAL`_, `VERSION_EQUAL`_, `VERSION_LESS`_,
-`VERSION_LESS_EQUAL`_, `VERSION_GREATER`_, `VERSION_GREATER_EQUAL`_,
-and `MATCHES`_.  Then the boolean operators in the order `NOT`_,  `AND`_,
-and finally `OR`_.
