Hi.


I have the following pseudo EBNF grammar:


for ::= 'for' <string> (in | (where? (update | return)))
in ::= 'in' <string> where? return
where ::= <evaluates to bool>
update ::= 'update' <string> 'to' <string>
return ::= 'return' <string>


I wish the in clause to be mutually exclusive with the update
clause. They can both have an optional where clause. Can this be
expressed in a nicer way than what I've done above?


Thanks,


Morten
