  The precedence rule in the newer (but not so new) Etoys for OLPC
follows the one you seem to like.  (* / // \\ are stronger than + and
-, and min: and max: are weaker than + and -.)  I think this is a good
idea for that audience.

As I wrote, I'd anticipate there aren't too many of expressions with
conflicts.  I think this means that we don't really have to make
everything right from the beginning.
