Comment:
David,
This looks accidental to me. In general, our story is: if it makes the
parser simpler, then it's fine to make the parser more generous (ie
willing to parse more stuff), and reject illegal programs later.
So maybe you should replace ''every'' use of ctype with ctypedoc (or
rather rename the latter to be the former)? That would go further than
you need, and would allow 'docs' to be parsed in more places. But if it
doesn't give rise to ambiguities, it'd be fine by me.
Make sure you run regression tests of course!
Simon
