For any nested roll, the parens are mandatory, since you may not tell which 
modifier applies to which roll. That's stated in the docs.
However, roll_Dice() shouldn't crash on standalone 4d6-L. I'll fix this 
tonight as well as another bug I found - 5d(2d4) was a problem in some cases.

And you'll get a reportThisRoll(style) facility to inspect what happened in 
the guts of the beast, whether there was an error or not. Just need to sort a 
few formatting issues pit and updating the docs. Output in html/text/raw data 
will be available.

You will get this in the late evening or early morning, your local time.

Thanks for reporting !
