Oh, I like the prettier syntax:

    calc_rules = alt(
      Int(id),
      rule(BinOp("+", Int(X), Int(Y)), to(lambda v: Int(v.X + v.Y))),
      rule(BinOp("-", Int(X), Int(Y)), to(lambda v: Int(v.X - v.Y))),
      rule(BinOp("*", Int(X), Int(Y)), to(lambda v: Int(v.X * v.Y))),
      rule(BinOp("/", Int(X), Int(Y)), to(lambda v: Int(v.X // v.Y)))
    )

This way of sharing variable names between the pattern and the associated action is pretty neat. It's much nicer than Pampy's use of '_' for all variables.
