so, thoughts on the Kleene star/plus
18:42
<Michael Ficarra>
there's definitely tons of opportunities to apply it, and I do feel it would make things more readable
18:43
<Michael Ficarra>
BUT
18:43
<Michael Ficarra>
we would need a way to do grouping if we wanted to fully eliminate some of the productions, which I don't really want to introduce
18:43
<Michael Ficarra>
and there will be so much churn in rewriting/refactoring SDOs
18:44
<Michael Ficarra>
I don't want the Kleene star badly enough to sign up for all that work
18:50
<Michael Ficarra>
we could make Annex A a little more useful by adding Kleene star, grouping, disjunction, etc., but that also might make it harder to modify in conjunction with the main body as new features are added
18:55
<bakkot>
better for Annex A to match the main grammar, I think
21:41
<shu>
yes, that Annex A should match is more important
21:41
<shu>
it should always be obviously just the grammar copy/pasted and collected in one place
