In LaTeX, optional arguments are enclosed in square brackets, and always
come _before_ required arguments. That's why e.g. a cube root is written
as
```
\sqrt[3]{1+x}
```
and not
```
\sqrt{1+x}[3]
```
which is actually also valid latex that displays a square root followed
by a 3 wrapped in square brackets.
The embed feature got this backwards. Fix it to use the standard order.

we need to maintain backwards compatibility, right?

Yeah, we'll need to come up with a strategy here if we actually try to land this.
Maybe we let \embed stay broken forever and come up with a different name for the version that uses correct LaTeX syntax.

UPDATE: I don't think this parser is actually working correctly yet.
