Sorry to take so long to respond; just thought I'd make note that I am
aware 
of this bug; that I intend to fix it; that I know exactly what's going
on,
and have a plan (more or less) on how to fix it; that it will take 1-3
days
of coding, experimenting, testing, etc.

The problem is in the lexical analyzer (flex) spec for 'word'. I need to 
absorb everything between ${ and } without caring what characters they
are.
right now, parens are not allowed in 'word' because it would then absorb
parens
when they are important to recognize as tokens on their own.
