No, it's not. Yes, it's a precedence issue, since there is a parsing
conflict between "(start through end) of list" and "start through (end
of list)", and that sort of thing is to be expected. But the bug is
that the presence of "the" (which should be a no-op) changes the
resolution of that conflict!
So a better comparison would be if -3^2 was +9, but ---3^2 was -9.
