The conditions used in ``while`` and ``if`` statements can contain any
operators, not just comparisons.
-The comparison operators ``in`` and ``not in`` check whether a value occurs
-(does not occur) in a sequence. The operators ``is`` and ``is not`` compare
-whether two objects are really the same object. All comparison operators have
-the same priority, which is lower than that of all numerical operators.

+The comparison operators ``in`` and ``not in`` are membership tests that
+determine whether a value is in (or not in) a container. The operators ``is``
+and ``is not`` compare whether two objects are really the same object. All
+comparison operators have the same priority, which is lower than that of all
+numerical operators.
Comparisons can be chained. For example, ``a < b == c`` tests whether ``a`` is
less than ``b`` and moreover ``b`` equals ``c``.
