The CLL frequently uses the phrase "elidable terminator."  I'm
looking for a place in the book where this phrase is defined,
and preferably also a formal statement that elidable terminators
bind to their closest marker:

  to to toi => (to (to toi))
  lu lu li'u => (lu (lu li'u))

Is true, whereas:

  to to toi => (to (to) toi)
  lu lu li'u => (lu (lu) li'u)

Is incorrect.

Can someone point me to the chapter where this concept is discussed?
It is indirectly discussed all over the place, for specific
terminators, but I can't seem to find the principle described
anywhere.

I'm aware of the list of elidable terminators:

  http://dag.github.com/cll/19/17/

But that page does not discuss usage or define them.
