+The C<and>, C<or> and C<not> operator are provided as aliases for
+C<&&>, C<||> and C<!>, respectively.  Unlike Perl, which treats 
+C<and>, C<or> and C<not> as separate, lower-precedence versions of the 
+other operators, the Template Toolkit performs a straightforward substitution
+of C<and> for C<&&>, and so on.  That means that C<and>, C<or> and C<not>
+have the same operator precedence as C<&&>, C<||> and C<!>.
