That's a preview I uploaded to a static file host, it won't change.
I've temporary created a GitHub Pages at
<http://flaviut.github.io/marpa-site-temp/>, which will update as I
push.

The change essentially means that `1 + 2 × 3` can be parsed instead of
`1 + 2 * 3`

I'm hoping that the site will eventually be accepted by the community,
so consensus is very important to me. As a bit of explanation as to
why I didn't take it as-is: I feel that the phrasing is arrogant,
potentially causing a new user to be put-off.
