This is probably stupid to ask, but when it produces errors on your
box, how come nobody noticed it before? It's not like it got in there
yesterday. :-S

Sometimes I'm at a total loss. Like now.

Thanks! Though given Paolo's response, I'll keep one around as
additional test case for the future, because
(a) I can understand his argument - even though it makes the lexing a
little harder, but users shouldn't be bothered like that if not
necessary, and
(b) if I don't and I do come out with a new compiler, I'll sure mess
this one up, because my concentration will be somewhere else.

mathexpr_unescaped_test.crm it is then. ;-)
