 def operatorPrecedence(base, operators):
 """ This re-implements pyparsing's operatorPrecedence function. It gets rid of a few annoying bugs, like always putting operators inside a Group, and matching the whole grammar with Forward first (there may actually be a reason for that, but I couldn't find it). It doesn't support trinary expressions, but they should be easy to add if it turns out I need them. """
