After primary expressions, postfix expressions have highest precedence.
They apply to primary expressions, and recursively to postfix expressions.
They can be primary expressions, and there are a few kinds of postfix
expressions that have postfix expression subcomponents.
There are postfix expressions to access parts of aggregate values.
A tuple access selects a component by index (zero-based).

Equalities return booleans but may also operate on booleans;
the rule below makes them left-associative.
Next in the precedence order are equivalence relations.
These are not associative, since `a == b == c` could be confusing.
