Rationalize the connective system. This change also looks YACC-safe. However (and this applies to X1 as well), changes to the preparser are never very certain until they've been coded up and tested, because the grammar depends on magic selma'o that don't really exist, and it's only a guess whether the preparser can insert them correctly. -- John Cowan cowan@ccil.org e'osai ko sarji la lojban.
