The combinator-based architecture is working correctly, and all arithmetic operations are functioning as expected. The `@` syntax for function references has been successfully implemented and is working perfectly. + +The precedence test cases are now complete and all working correctly. The focus should shift to the case expression parsing issues, which are separate from precedence and have a clear path to resolution. \ No newline at end of file |
