    Precedence: bulk

    I propose that BNF non-terminals be formatted in the text as
    italics Times font.

    Most non-terminals have underscores in the name and can be
    located that way.

    A few non-terminals are just a single word, such as
    "expression", and appear in the text many times as regular
    words and not just as BNF constructs. So it is hard to spot
    those places where they are specifically intended to refer
    to the BNF construct. But in many of those cases, the
    sentence will work equally well if they are interpreted as
    regular words anyway.
