Open issues
Use pragmas for the prolog?
steven: not against and sees some benefit
norm: pragmas can be used by implementors for experimentation.
norm: pragmas in the spec should not change the behaviour of the grammar and parse
norm: but it could e.g. alter the performance, such as regular expressions.
norm: what do pragmas apply to - what is their locality of scope. E.g. run very fast for 'rule 17' or here is a regex you can use.
norm: can we come to common understanding of the scope of possible pragmas, such as can they be not just applied to a grammar as a whole.
<norm> Consider: {[A]} S: a.
<norm> The Balisage pragma's proposal uses {[+A]} for the pragma applies to the whole grammar.
Agreed to think a bit more about this.
ACTION: john - more detail on subtraction operator
