Hi,

    Zope seems to evaluate expressions in an unconventional way.
Say I have three properties, a=3, b=5, c=7 set in a Folder. In
a DTML Document I tried to say <dtml-var "a/b*c"> and got result
0. The expression was evaluated as a/(b*c) and rounded off. Is
not the expression supposed to be evaluated as (a/b)*3? The
result is not correct still if we put it this way:
<dtml-var "(a/b)*3">. I still got 0 as the result. Did I miss
anything fundamentally or is this a, bug?
