Speaking as a computer programmer, I had complained many times
whenever a language won't allow something I want to do and I must look
for a workaround. Fortunately, Lojban doesn't rely on a compiler for
it to work and the human brain is far more flexible. So, if the parser
won't allow it, but the intended audience would understand, then BREAK
THE MABLA RULES!!!!
