dxli, what if we pre-parse the expression  before passing it to muparser?
We just need a pre-parser, all the rest will go same as doing currently.

I don't think that we need much of mathematical calculations for this
project. muparser is more than enough. It supports strings, and we can
do pre-parse the string easily before passing to muparser.

We just need to design a grammer for user input and parsing it to unit
used in LibreCAD.
What are your views in this?
