AFAIK, there are no physical characters which ignore order of
operations but have parens. Furthermore, that doesn't enable proper
following of order of operations or disable it, but allow you to
override whatever evaluation order the calculator uses.
Nice for a flip answer, but doesn't actually solve any problems.
