First, thanks to Paul for checking my suggestions. Actually, I may have misremembered: I thought there might be pitfalls regarding the sign of the result.
As for BETWEEN and the others: maybe precedence is totally irrelevant for "comparison predicates". I just mentioned it since "comparison operators" have defined precedence. -- Aage J. ps I've spent most of Easter in hospital, and haven't really been keen on doing testing. Sorry about that.
