     It was closed because the ETF felt that the redundancy added some clarity
     to the description of the syntax, and also that it was not worth the time
     and effort to make the relevant changes to the text of the LRM, especially
     because there is no error or ambiguity in the current BNF (you get to the
     same end result no matter how you parse it).
