That's really cool!
Since you are using Qt, as I understand it you will need to pay for a Qt license if you intend to distribute your app as closed source.

Matklad follows Norvell's excellent exposition in these two articles pretty closely:

http://www.engr.mun.ca/~theo/Misc/pratt_parsing.htm
Matklad's stuff is really great. I wish he had cited Norvell, though.

I have easily read more than a dozen articles over the years on this parsing strategy, including Pratt's original paper, and in every case I have read "donation." But you are 100% right! All of my sources actually use denotation. MY MIND IS FREAKING BLOWN.
I am going to go meditate on the subjectivity of my reality. If I am wrong about this, what else am I wrong about?

Why do you fault multiline comments and not your code editor?
