gollark: `(1+2)*3-4/3 DIV 6` → `Success(Op(args=[Op(args=[IntLit(val=1), IntLit(val=2)], op='+'), Op(args=[IntLit(val=3), Op(args=[IntLit(val=4), Op(args=[IntLit(val=3), IntLit(val=6)], op='DIV')], op='/')], op='-')], op='*'))`.
gollark: Brackets are done. Combinating parsers is cool and good, as they say.
