The formula language for statistical models in the DataFrames package is 
patterned on a similar language in R.  Several operators including :+, :*, 
:& and :/ has a special interpretation in that language.  In particular A & 
B & C denotes a 3-way interaction.  I have noticed that it does not 
generate a three-argument call to the & function but instead generates a 
two-argument call to & in which the first argument is a call to & with 
arguments A and B.  Is this intentional?

I can work around this but it seems that the 3 argument call is legitimate.

julia> eval(Expr(:call,:&,true,false,true))
false
