The examples given there have nothing to do with the chaining of
comparisons and how it's to be interpreted. Yes, "x & 1 == 0" is
evaluated oddly. Doesn't affect "x == 1 == y".

Python's interpretation is more algebraic than C's. That doesn't mean
that C is wrong and Python is right, nor does it mean the converse.
