No.

This is complicated, because "module_expr" have several rules starting
with rules already starting "expr". This extension will introduce syntax
errors in many normal cases.

You can add a grammar entry defined by a parser. There are examples of
that in the "normal" syntax (pa_o.ml, in Camlp4, subdirectory etc).
See entries "test_ctyp_minusgreater", "test_label_eq",
"test_typevar_list_dot". But I consider they are "hacks" to make
some situation work.
