Damn right it does!  Order of evaluation is no longer ambiguous for
commutative/associative operators.  (Side-effects can in many cases be
deferred until a sequence point.)  When it can be determined that the
rearrangement will have no adverse effect, an implementation can still
generate whatever code its little heart desires.
