No.  Only people who don't want to know operator precedence enclose
everything in parens.  Here's the grammar:

logical-OR-expression:
               logical-AND-expression
               logical-OR-expression || logical-AND-expression
logical-AND-expression:
               inclusive-OR-expression
               logical-AND-expression && inclusive-OR-expression
inclusive-OR-expression:
               exclusive-OR-expression
               inclusive-OR-expression | exclusive-OR-expression
exclusive-OR-expression:
               AND-expression
               exclusive-OR-expression ^ AND-expression
AND-expression:
               equality-expression
               AND-expression & equality-expression

So, a & b || c gives:

logical-OR-expression := a & b || c
+-logical-OR-expression := a & b
| `-logical-AND-expression := a & b
|   `-inclusive-OR-expression := a & b
|     `-exclusive-OR-expression := a & b
|       `-AND-expression := a & b
|         +-AND-expression := a
|         | `-equality-expression := a
|         `-equality-expression := b
+-logical-AND-expression := c
  `-inclusive-OR-expression := c
    `-exclusive-OR-expression := c
      `-AND-expression := c
       `-equality-expression := c

So, a & b || c is evaluated as ((a) & (b)) || (c), which is exactly what
we want it to be.

If it were && and ||, then there is reason to use parens as people often
get the relative precedence of && and || mixed up.

If you insist on putting parens around a & b there, then for the sake of
consistency, you should be putting parens around every sub-expression
involving || and && - as if you think that a & b || c could be incorrectly
evaluated, a < b || c falls into exactly the same category, as does
a < b || c < d.
