I am degrading this bug from RC to wishlist - This program _is_
working as it is often expected. Wmcalc mimics a pocket calculator,

to be more correct, is designed not to provide, in order to save
space) parentheses or other means to properly provide nesting and
proper precedence.
Hi Gunnar,
If even upstream admits it's a bug and should behave differently, how
can you suggest that it's expected behaviour? This may not be RC, but
it's more than wishlist. Upgrading to normal severity.
Wmcalc is designed to be as small as possible. Given its interface, I
would be surprised by it if it applied higher precedence to some
operators than to others.
I expect any such program to act at least as well as the crappiest
pocket calculator, which IME implements "proper" precedence rules.
