Upon detecting arithmetic operators, the parser should scan forward for a trailing equals sign and avoid prematurely unraveling them. (Keeping the originals in place would be very helpful in case we need to denude the parsed stream later on.) Consistency with the existing design is another reason we should defer the unraveling of these syntactic conveniences until the SQL construction phase.
