Maybe both should be reflected in the > grammar. The term “operation” here does encompass all three of regular operations, special operations and static operations. The grammar only allows “omittable” to be used if it’s followed by one or more special keywords, so I don’t think we need any further wording to disallow it. It would be nice if the grammar enforced the “omittable operations must have an identifier” rule, although I suspect it would result in a bit of repetition. For now I think it’s OK to rely on the prose restriction. -- Cameron McCormack ≝ http://mcc.id.au/
