Remove space between unary minus and variable,
and some parenthesis, it does not look weird

(-a % m) - (b % n) ~= (-b % n) - (a % n)

You can do the same trick to make any expression weird:

a  *  b+c  *  d+e / a  ^  3*c

Even if the idea is sound, it is too late to fix precedence

Anyway, how can it parse simple x / -y ?
