I did not spot examples of this in your diffs, but I assume you mean to prohibit conditionals like:
if ($a || $b and $c || $d)
As I understand it, perl introduced low precedence operators precisely to allow this. Why disallow it?

I don't understand the prejudice against commas used this way. What is wrong with:
$i++, $j++ if defined $k;
rather than:
if (defined $k)
{
$i++;
$j++;
}
