That convention is somewhat inconsistent, since spaces are ignored
elsewhere. Now that @ is no longer used for fat-dot, maybe it could be
used instead. I.e. use ``x@'' instead of ``x '', to mean x/^.*\n/
and ignore spaces between tokens.

I note "l" (for "line") is unused:
[addr]x<sp><etc> -> [addr]l<etc> ??

Ah, now I found it in page 8 of the tutorial. Grumble, all
this time, I have been using it without this shorthand. It
goes to show that one must always read Bell Labs tutorials
with care. ;-)

immediately following it uses an implicit /^.*\n/

works:

complains:
, x /arglist_opt/ c /opt_arglist/
?changes not in sequence
I am not sure if I understand this. The only difference is
the spaces... Have I missed a subtle point about them?
