Sure, but to know if you've omitted the proper set of parenthesis, one still needs to refer to the table, or at least, the subset of it that you consider "clear".
Sure, but there are plenty of things that are common sense. Perl's precedence table is set up (for the most part) to follow the principle of least suprise. Consider the following:
my $x = $y * $z;
Hopefully we can all agree that the precedence here is pretty clear. Adding parentheses to this statement seems counterproductive, wasteful, and downright ugly.
If you use parenthesis all the time, you don't need to do even that.
Well, then you're writing Perl with a Lisp dialect. Which is fine, but trying to convince me to do that is going to be unsuccessful to say the least. :-)
