Well, as I pointed out in another message, this still isn't quite
enough. What is the rule for function_name? I couldn't seem to find
it anywhere (even yanked the RM up into an editor and searched for
it.) Actually, funtion_prefix doesn't seem to have an explicit rule
either, but the fact that this form requires a parameter list
eliminates it for the "-O" case.

Hi Jon
It's really amazing how long this discussion has been taking.
A little advice:
Do not use RM in an ASCII file form, rather use a printed version.
There you will find that function_name and function_prefix really do not exist
at all as syntax categories; only name and prefix exist.
The 'function_' part is typed in italics, which means that the syntax category
given is the one with the italicized part stripped.
