"""Evaluate an arithmetic expression given as a string.

A small, self-contained recursive-descent parser. No ``eval``/``exec`` and no
expression-parsing library is used; only the Python standard library.

Grammar (whitespace between tokens is ignored)::

    expr   := term   (('+' | '-') term)*
    term   := factor (('*' | '/') factor)*
    factor := ('+' | '-') factor | '(' expr ')' | number
    number := digits | digits '.' [digits] | '.' digits

``+`` and ``-`` are lower precedence than ``*`` and ``/``; all four binary
operators are left associative; unary ``+``/``-`` bind tighter than the binary
operators and may stack (``--5`` == ``5``). ``/`` is true division. A result that
is an exact integer value is returned as ``int``; otherwise as ``float``.
