I've looked carefully at both the parser and the lexer. It's a long

to anything that does arithmetic. The only instance of plus signs that I
can find are in the regular expressions and in the C code. There appears
to be no provision to recognise a "$((" - the parser seems to expect
only a variable name (with or without enclosing braces). "$[" is used
for arrays in bash - in any case the lexer doesn't recognise it.

I think you misunderstood me. The is no arithmetic currently. What I meant is that they may be better integrated if they are done using bash syntax rather than by having a separate command.
