I applaud this in general (or I wouldn't be writing the reference grammar),
but I'm willing to except the MEX grammar, since that is, as it were,
embedding a different language into Lojban, expressed with Lojban tokens
but not really part of Lojban, and standardized, as it were, by a different
authority.
