//! # Schala EBNF Grammar
//! Terminal productions are in 'single quotes' or UPPERCASE if they are a class of tokens,
//! or otherwise not representable in ASCII.
//! This document is the authoritative grammar of Schala, represented in something approximating
//! Extended Backus-Naur form. Terminal productions are in "double quotes", or UPPERCASE
//! if they represent a class of tokens rather than an specific string, or are otherwise
//! unreprsentable in ASCII.
