This dice roller is, for the most part, a simple integer calculator
with addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and grouping via
parentheses.  In order to turn it into a dice calculator, we add the
'd' (dice) binary operator. The required right argument to 'd' is the
number of sides on the die, while the option left argument (defaulting
to 1) is how many to roll and sum.

So 16 / d4 means "roll one 4-sided die and divide the result into 16".
