Breaking changes

• Renamed a few symbols: What was previous dot.op is now just dot and the basic dot is dot.basic. The same applies to ast and tilde.

• Renamed mod to rem to more accurately reflect the behavior. It will remain available as mod until the next update as a grace period.

• A lone underscore is not a valid identifier anymore, it can now only be used in patterns

• Removed before and after arguments from query. This is now handled through flexible selectors combinator methods

• Added support for attachments (sub-, superscripts) that precede the base symbol. The top and bottom arguments have been renamed to t and b.
