	Definition:
		General-purpose right-bracket for arbitrary grouping of Lojban text; end highlight / selection marker.

	Notes:
		{tu'e'ei}…{tu'u'o} is a general-purpose parentheses or grouping brackets.  It explicitly supports {xi} subscripts to create new bracket pairs, and it explicitly does not require a UI cmavo or other indicator to follow.  It does not override groupings already specified in the grammar, e.g. tanru, but since it provides a grammatical marker to select a range of text, it can be used e.g. to explicitly specify a range of text for an attitudinal to apply to.  These brackets / parens simply add tokens or markers to otherwise grammatical Lojban text, and the terminator {tu'u'o} can be used for selecting a desired range of text to apply a UI too after the terminator, even through multiple layers of terminators.  Otherwise, these general brackets can be used to select or highlight text, as general indicators that a range of grammatical Lojban text is marked for some reason.

ni'o {tu'e'ei}…{tu'u'o} can cross through arbitrary terminators and tokens, e.g. «.i mi broda lonu tu'e'ei brode kei .i do broda tu'e'o brodi lonu brodo kei» is grammatical.  Thus {tu'e'ei}…{tu'u'o} function grammatically more like UI than TO…TOI.

ni'o Synonym: {fu'o}.
