When I tried adding the syntax to gram.y a while ago it gave
shift/reduce errors on the "(+)" fields. I would guess that we would
need to have this become a token in the lexer :((

I'll have the code in gram.y (commented out) when I commit my next
changes for this; someone can play with it if they want.
