gawk manpage "bug" (| operator).

Gawk 3.06 and Mawk 1.3.3 manpages are missing a listing
for "|" in the "operator precedence" sections.  Gawk
operation differs from "Mawk" in this operation as well.


Gawk:   ( string string string | getline )

    gawk interprets this as:

        ( (string string string) | getline )


Mawk:   ( string string string | getline )

    mawk interprets this as:

        ( (string string) string | getline )


Somewhere in the operator precedence sections,
there should be a showing of "|"'s precedence,
especially in consideration of the variance
of it's operations between the awk's.

Thank you.
