I've updated the Rationale to discuss precedence:
  https://sourceforge.net/p/readable/wiki/Rationale/

In short: Would it be *possible* to modify curly-infix to support basic 
precedence?  The answer is yes, and I've done my best to design such a system 
in case that is *necessary* to gain wider acceptance.

However, I think we should *NOT* add precedence.  It's not hard to *implement*, 
but any such system creates more complications and necessarily loses some 
homoiconicity.  What's more, it could always be added *later* once simple 
curly-infix is widely used... whereas once a precedence system is added, it's 
impractical to seriously change or remove.
