Why not support this syntax?

[MeowChow]

if ($min < $x < $max) { ... }

Since it currently produces a syntax error, why not just DWIM? Would treating this as a special case (ie. not one of the first two below) require adding complexity to the Perl parser? Any other possible objections?

# not this
if (($min < $x) < $max) {...}

# or this
if ($min < ($x < $max)) {...}

# but this
if ($min < $x && $x < $max) {...}
