The documentation should distinguish between those that are just pre-defined characters classes (E.G., <alpha> and <digit>) and those that are special builtins (E.G., <before ...> and <commit>. The former are things that you should be freely allowed to redefine in a derived grammar, while the other second type may want to be treated as reserved, or at least mention that redefining them may break things in surprising ways.
