Actually, no. Each postfix expression is equivalent to exactly one
fully-parenthesized infix expression, if my math is still correct.
Incidentally, it's also the same as exactly one infix expression.

Just imagine it as a parse tree. Prefix is NLR, postfix is LRN, and
infix is LNR. Same tree, same expression.

_Generating_ fully-parenthesized infix expressions without resorting to
postfix is a bit of a daunting task, though. Not something I can figure
out right now.
