[Cuis-dev] [QUESTION] Weird Chain Expressions

[Gerald Klix]

Thanks and sorry for my dysgrammatical English.

While I am at it, this is also a feature/bug that puzzles me sometimes:


[ :

arg | arg ] value: 1


Shout and the scanner/parser accept it,
but I am not sure, if this should be the acceptable.


Best Regards,

Gerald
