I assume that these relate to being able to confirm the variant of the
operator, unary/binary etc. If you look for "annotate_values", after
that is run there is additional information for each character of the
current line, tracking the type of the operator. This is used when
determining spacing for + etc later as unary ones are typically tight
bound and binary ones spaced out. You might find that useful, if that
is your issue. And indeed you might find it useful for determining if
the +/- you find at line end is indeed unary. Running with --debug
values=1 should dump out the variants information for those.
