[lojban] Higher-precedence Grouping with {bo} Is Impossible for TAG Sentence Connectives

[Jacob Errington <nictytan@gmail.com>]

The title says it all; the following won't parse:

{.i broda .ija'ebo brode .iseri'abobo brodi}

Semantically, it should parse meaning that {.i brode .iseri'abo brodi} is the right-hand operand of {.ija'ebo}.

On a related note, even-higher-precedence grouping with bo is not possible for ijeks; the following won't parse:

.i (broda .ijebo (brode .ijebo ((brodi .ijebobo brodo) .ijebo brodu)))

Parentheses show intended parse.

Furthermore, multiple {bo} are not allowed in tanru groupings:

{.i (broda bo ((brode bo bo brodi) bo brodo))}

It just seems like multiple {bo} is illegal across the board. Bug or feature? Could this even be implemented? If it can, should we?
