...Why not just write it with precedence, and use a GLR parser, rather
than a LALR(1) parser? I've been poking at writing a transformation
program from the EBNF grammar to a bison grammar for the same thing...
in bison, as it happes.
Doesn't "elided when no grammatical ambiguity exists" just mean "The
default is something else when the token is elided and it could be
something else", which is to say, "the rule with terminator has high
precedence, but without has low"? am I missing something?
