I see it (and several other issues) was already raised in http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1100 which was rejected. The grammar in the suggested resolution there makes a lot more sense to me than the current one but that may be down to me missing some background on yacc parsing and misunderstanding how it works. Since 1100 was rejected, shouldn't the other issues it was meant to factorize (which doesn't include this one though) and were closed as duplicate reopened? -- Stephane
