In the current "Hints to implementors" section, it explains how to translate the repetition constructs into simple constructs: Optional factor: f? ⇒ f-option -f-option: f; . Zero or more repetitions: f* ⇒ f-star -f-star: f, f-star; . One or more repetitions: f+ ⇒ f-plus -f-plus: f, f-star. -f-star: f, f-star; . One or more repetitions with separator: f+sep ⇒ f-plus-sep -f-plus-sep: f, sep-part-option. -sep-part-option: sep, f-plus-sep; . Zero or more repetitions with separator: f*sep ⇒ f-star-sep -f-star-sep: f-plus-sep; . -f-plus-sep: f, sep-part-option. -sep-part-option: sep, f-plus-sep; . This could be done shorter in the following way. Do you consider it an improvement? (The first two are the same) Optional factor: f? ⇒ f-option -f-option: f; . Zero or more repetitions: f* ⇒ f-star -f-star: f, f-star; . One or more repetitions: f+ ⇒ f-plus -f-plus: f, f*. One or more repetitions with separator: f+sep ⇒ f-plus-sep -f-plus-sep: f, (sep, f-plus-sep)?. Zero or more repetitions with separator: f*sep ⇒ f-star-sep -f-star-sep: f+sep; . Steven
