I think Thorsten's main argument was that changing it would supposedly make
expressions like x*-y illegal, even though I see no reason that should be
the case. After the parser sees 'x*', it should be expecting a new
expression, and when it sees the '-' it shouldn't care whether unary '-' has
lower precedence than '*', right?
