Of course it says that, in the quote I cited upthread (s. 15.7.1):
"The left-hand operand of a binary operator appears to be fully evaluated
before any part of the right-hand operand is evaluated."

'a' appears to be fully evaluated before '(b * c / f)'.

'b' before '(c / f)'.

'c' before 'f'.

Hence 'a' before 'b' before 'c' before 'f'.

Sorry, agreed. I was recently dealing with a claim that all operands are
evaluated left to right before any operators, and I'm still touchy about
it ;-)
