Subject: [ruby-core:91556] [Ruby trunk Feature#15606] Precendence of -@ and	+@

Issue #15606 has been reported by sos4nt (Stefan Sch����ler).

----------------------------------------
Feature #15606: Precendence of -@ and +@
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/15606

* Author: sos4nt (Stefan Sch����ler)

----------------------------------------
`-@` and `+@` seem to have issues with method chaining:

```ruby
i = 5

-i.negative?
# NoMethodError (undefined method `-@' for false:FalseClass)
```

here's another example:

```ruby
# frozen_string_literal: true

+'foo'.upcase!
# FrozenError (can't modify frozen String)
```

I know that I can fix this by adding parentheses, i.e. `(-i).negative?` and `(+'foo').upcase!` but it feels cumbersome.

Shouldn't the above work out of the box?

Unless I'm missing a crucial use case, the precedence for `-@` and `+@` should be changed.
