The `S` in G.1 refers to the `S` in G.2, specifically `{s} {return S;}`.
The part of G.2 before the first `%%` is the definitions section, which
holds definitions for use in the rules section which comes afer the `%%`
and have no meaning elsewhere, G.1 only consideres what's returned from
the rules in the rules section of G.2. As far as I can tell, there is no
problem here, other than the appendix being useless and confusing.
