 You may be wondering why you only need to make the =#\+= character
-optional, and not the =#\-= sign too.  The reason is pretty
-unexciting: the =<int<= combinatory already optionally accepts a minus
-sign because it parses negative integers as well as positives.

+The above parser does the following:

+1. Parses a real number with =<real<= 
+2. binds a successful result to the variable =real= inside the =lambda= expression.
