Hello,

I think it's a bit too early for that. The document describes the
current syntax, but also uncovers some ambiguous parts of that syntax,
which may need to be fixed (at least require to be discussed).

I agree that both tasks can be done in parallel, but I wouldn't like the
one you propose to shadow the one that I describe.

Anyway, improvements are welcome. Feel free to provide a patch for the
document.
