Ignore this question if it can't be explained simply, since
I don't have the knowledge probably to even understand the
answer, but why is it more complicated than (for example) this:

while [[ $remainder > $2 ]]; do
let remainder=$remainder-$2
done

... can't that sorta be attached to  " % " without dozens of lines of
changed code?  Seems not :(

And:

 /* 25 */  BOOL|OP_A2IO, LR|OP_A2IO, RL|OP_OP, RL|OP_OP, RL|OP_E2,
-/* 30 */  RL|OP_E2, RL|OP_E2, RL|OP_E2, RL|OP_E2, RL|OP_E2IO,

... are those 'metas'?  IOW, is that the internal representation of
some command syntax?   Metafied? Tokenized?  ...
