  Now I remember one boolean expression that was really harder
  to read than other boolean expressions.

  In a Java program (off topic here, but just to show how sane
  C++ is in comparison), I once came across:

            if (a[i] != a[i]) 

  It took me several seconds to remember how this might be true
  in Java (Hint: it has nothing to do with the array access, the
  same effect can be seen with »if( a != a )«.)

  If the reader knows Java, but also does not understand this
  expression immediately, this would prove that it is hard to read.

  (Another hint: The type of the operands of »!=« is »double«.)
