Portions of perlop are supposed to be ordered so that all the operators
577+
wth the same precedence are in a single section, and the sections are
578+
ordered so that the highest precedence operators appear first.
579+
This ordering has now been restored. Other reorganization was done to
580+
improve clarity, with more basic operations described before ones that
581+
depend on them.

The documentation for here-docs has been cleaned up and reorganized.
586+
Indented here-docs were formerly documented separately, now the two
587+
types have interwoven documentation which is more compact, and easier to
588+
understand.

Outdated advice about using relational string operators in UTF-8 locales
597+
has been removed. Use L<Unicode::Collate> for the best results, but
598+
these operators will give adequate results on many platforms.

Normalized alignment of verbatim sections, fixing how they are displayed by

some Pod viewers that strip indentation.
