/*
 * Let me explain this hack. For the sync shell script it's easiest if every 
 * line in mapping.rs looks exactly the same. This means that specifying an 
 * array literal is not possible. include!() can only expand to expressions, so 
 * just specifying the contents of an array is also not possible.
 *
 * This leaves us with trying to find an expression in which every line looks 
 * the same. This can be done using the `-` operator. This can be a unary 
 * operator (first thing on the first line), or a binary operator (later 
 * lines). That is exactly what's going on here, and Neg and Sub simply build a 
 * vector of the operangs.
