Description:
------------
On page http://php.net/manual/en/language.operators.precedence.php indicates that the operator ** is of higher priority than ++ -- ~ (int) (float) (string) (array) (object ) (bool) @, but it is not.

Test script:
---------------
// this script returns 9 instead of 15
$a=4;
echo --$a**2;

The issue is that --($a ** 2) is not a valid expression. Thus the parser parses it the only possible way: (--$a) ** 2.

And the manual is therefore still correct.
