Agreed, although there is an alternate solution to allow global-scope
relationship definition.
Trying to write it formally:
====begin====
Precedence relationships that, by transitivity rule, create relationship
between two imported groups, is an error. Example:
// Module X
precedencegroup A { }
precedencegroup C { }
// Module Y
import X
precedencegroup B { precedence(> A) precedence(< C) }
This results in compilation error "B uses transitivity to define
relationship between imported groups A and C".
The rationale behind this is that otherwise one can create relationships
between standard precedence groups that are confusing for the reader.
====end====
What's the purpose of equality relationships between precedence groups?
>
Agreed, will remove.

Do you mean that most operators should define greater precedence than
Assignment / Ternary? Or there should be some other special treatment?
