I see that you have committed the change, but haven't had time to play with it.

According to the doc, setting calc-multiplication-has-precedence to nil gives
precedence to / over *.

IIRC, the objection was that people expected equal precedence with
left to right evaluation (as in C).  Giving / precedence over *
doesn't fix that - it just gives another "wrong" result.
