Yes. Please leave it in. The book is called _C_LL and the formal
grammar is _definitely_ part of the language. I will look at it
if I'm interested in a specific parse tree or the grammar itself and I don't
have a computer with me (yes, this really does happen, even nowadays,
and it's always going to happen for as long as computers are not implanted)

I also do hope the YACC grammar will be replaced by a PEG grammar
in the next version.

If people feel really uncomfortable because there is no explanation
of the syntax of the grammar description, then we should _add_ one
instead of removing the grammar.
