Oh, I think we misunderstood.
When I was talking about an "interface", I meant an API, not an UI!! ;-)
You're obviously talking about a GUI, and I'm talking about a C++ class
implementing the evaluation of a generic binary expression.

Anyway if we're talking about a UI, it's not quite simple, right.
I see two possible approches:
- linear view: a field containing the expression, and contextual
  buttons (variables, operators, ...). Similar to the entry of the
  expression by hand, but with some contextual help.
- tree view: add/delete/edit node/leaf. More graphical, but more
  tedious to edit.
