/*
*
* When you write a block-expression thing followed by
* a lone unary operator, you can get a surprising parse:
*
* if (...) { ... }
* -num;
*
* for example, or:
*
* if (...) { ... }
* *box;
*
* These will parse as subtraction and multiplication binops.
* To get them to parse "the way you want" you need to brace
* the leading unops:
* if (...) { ... }
* {-num};
*
* or alternatively, semi-separate them:
*
* if (...) { ... };
* -num;
*
* This seems a little wonky, but the alternative is to lower
* precedence of such block-like exprs to the point where
* you have to parenthesize them to get them to occur in the
* RHS of a binop. For example, you'd have to write:
*
* 12 + (if (foo) { 13 } else { 14 });
*
* rather than:
*
* 12 + if (foo) { 13 } else { 14 };
*
* Since we want to maintain the ability to write the latter,
* we leave the parens-burden on the trailing unop case.
*
