There's no stack to deal with, and generally less possible expressions 
to worry about. You're probably right about doing an expression parser

Whoa, that's your idea of a weekend project? I'm speechless.

I really appreciate the example, and I'll try my best to understand it. 
Did you use a parser generator or anything like that, or is it purely 
hand-coded?
