In these grammers it is obvious that things listed after each other
are joined with an implicit OR operator:
addr1 OR addr2
And thus,
!addr1 OR !addr2
How could it mean anything else? The language does not read minds.
And of course we don't commute it in an english sense. Not in a spanish
sense either. This is a programming langauge, not some wishy washy thing.
