Important new shortcut : break out, using Super+Esc

This was driving me up the wall, when I wanted to briefly nest, say, an
addition without it being absorbed before I turned it into a fraction or
something. Specifically, I was trying to evaluate the wavenumber in Airy
theory which involves products of roots of four or five unknowns, which is
non-obvious enough as it is.

For instance, I want to write 1+((3+4)/2). Currently, I enter '1 +' then
MUST do the '/' before the 3+4. If not, I'll end up with '1+3+4' as one
immutable phrasegroup and have to delete the extra terms and try again.
Counter-intuitive.

Now, 1+3+4 Super+Esc will give me an un-absorbing 3+4 to do what I like
with.

Not pushed yet, but next push should have it.
