    Since most of the system thinks AND and OR are N-argument expressions
    anyway, let's have the grammar generate a representation of that form when
    dealing with input like "x AND y AND z AND ...", rather than generating
    a deeply-nested binary tree that just has to be flattened later by the
    planner.  This avoids stack overflow in parse analysis when dealing with
    queries having more than a few thousand such clauses; and in any case it
    removes some rather unsightly inconsistencies, since some parts of parse
    analysis were generating N-argument ANDs/ORs already.
    
    It's still possible to get a stack overflow with weirdly parenthesized
    input, such as "x AND (y AND (z AND ( ... )))", but such cases are not
    mainstream usage.  The maximum depth of parenthesization is already
    limited by Bison's stack in such cases, anyway, so that the limit is
    probably fairly platform-independent.
    
    Patch originally by Gurjeet Singh, heavily revised by me
