The example in this line is not exactly a “real” terminal symbol of the grammar. Though it’s still present as an alternative of `Other`, it’s not used elsewhere and therefore has no meaning — if it were removed, everything would stay exactly the same because  `Other` would still include it via `other`, which is also only used in `Other` and only currently _doesn’t_ include `.` it  because `Other` _does_ include it. :)

Though the example was already present, the new language seems to make this situation even more confusing and probably justifies removing the vestigial `.` and `-` alternatives of `Other`.
