- * To support target_el without AS, it used to be necessary to assign IDENT an

- * If those keywords have the same precedence as IDENT then they clearly act

+ * really part of the operator hierarchy, in order to resolve grammar
+ * ambiguities. It's best to avoid doing so whenever possible, because such

+ * to a new keyword, try very hard to give it the same precedence as IDENT.

+ * keywords that lack a natural precedence level.
