Re: [lojban] MEX ROI, MEX MOI, MEX MAI



But note that the PEG is working just in case it gives the same results as the YACC, the official grammar.  Now, later, we may want to add some things which that old grammar doesn't allow (but not delete anything it does allow) and then this proposal, should it come up and be accepted,  might find PEG easier to modify.  Meanwhile, the incompatibility with YACC stops it dead.  (Well, barring a long political process of getting the PEG declared official and opening the proposed changes process.)

MOI on the other hand is already tied to MEX at the full grammar level.  So I am not sure what it means to say that you cannot use MEX with MOI.  Almost anything can be used with MOI if you first turn it into a sumti, and then apply a ME conversion to that sumti.  You can of course turn a MEX into a sumti using LI, so "meli MEX" with appropriate terminators should work with MOI.  I just tried it, and you need either a lo'o or a me'u to terminate the li/me construct before the moi.
I consider ME LI MEX MOI to be a hack, not a proper solution. (Not that it was a bad idea when the goal was to get a YACC working, but it's a bad idea now, when the goal is to get a PEG working.) Simply MEX MOI *should* be fine.
