In the process of back-translating Nick's math page, I found that to say x_1 (x sub 1), you need to do xy. boi xi pa. xy. xi pa will not work. I can't imagine that any amibiguity would result from allowing this. I propose, having not tested it thorougly, that we add | XI_424 BOI_gap_461 to operand_C_385, because I *think* that will allow this without adding in anything unwarranted. But I don't know the YACC grammar as well as others, so I would like comments on whether that change would work. *PLEASE* do not comment on whether the change is a good idea or not; we all know the arguments against changing the grammar, and I'm on the side of not changing it by default myself, and that's a bpfk discussion anyways.
