That interpretation doesn't help me solve my generic parsing problems,
which is about the relationship of op1 to op2 and op3 in
op1 a() op2 b() op3 c()
and presumably the same thing for postfixes in the other order.
So here's another question in the same vein. How would mathematicians
read these (assuming Perl has a factorial postfix operator):
1 + a(x)**2!
1 + a(x)²!
