I just wonder why it is important that unary binds tighter? For
instance, before I carefully studied the issue of this thread, I have
never expected that unary minus binds tighter than binary multiplication
operator in expressions like `-2*x` (although it does not matter in that
case).
Making the parentheses mandatory here will be somewhat annoying in
perfectly reasonable expressions, where you usually don’t use
parentheses in real math notation., like:
```
let s2 = - x**2 - y**2 - z**2 + t**2
```
I would overcome it and do not write the parens:
let s2 = 0 - x**2 - y**2 - z**2 + t**2
Writing mandatory parens here is ugly.
In fact, I am surprised "-2" is unary minus with 2, I thought it is
number -2. And similarly to Claude, I always read -x*y in math notation,
that is, as -(x*y). Luckily, for multiplication it does not matter.
