Hmm... I don't really want to maintain a version at this point, mainly
becaue I have no easy way to test it. But if you are annotating this
version, at least you can say that there seems to be no point to this
or that, if we can't see what the point is.

No, the EBNF verson does not use "!" at all. (BTW, you should probably
explain "!" at the top, that was the most difficult thing for me to
understand when I started looking at PEGs.)
