Classic recursive-descent parser? An expression is a sequence of terms,
a term is a sequence of factors, one of the possibilities for a factor
is a parenthesised expression.

However, there's probably still a way round that in a unit, by moving
the first mention of one of those into the definition part. Or similarly
you might be able to avoid it by using object definitions.
