Description (last modified by gkronber)
Some examples:
- Input: -1.0*x + 2.0
- Expected:
(+ (* -1.0 x) 2.0)
- Output:
(+ (- (* 1.0 x)) 2.0)
- Input: exp(-1.0*x - 2.0)
- Output:
(exp (* -1.0 (+ (* 1.0 x) 2.0)))
- Expected:
(exp (- (* -1.0 x) 2.0))
- Input: 3/3+2/2+1/1
- Output:
((3 * 1/3) + (2 * 1/2) + (1 * 1/1))

The main problem is that by parsing "-x" as (-1)*x we effectively introduce an additional constant (see non-linear regression). The same issue occurs when parsing "x/y" as "x * 1/y".
Parsing "-3.14" as "(-1)*3.14" is especially strange.
