If you search for, eg, '%', you will find there are several production
lists that call out all the operators; your patch only caught one of them.
This is a real pain in the neck to maintain, but AFAIK we couldn't
collapse the productions into a single one using MathOp without losing
operator precedence info :-(
It might be helpful if gram.y had annotations like "# Here be MathOps"
so that you could search for the darn things and make sure you had
adjusted each and every production list whenever you added/deleted one.
