Bonjour johannes, hi everybody,

      I was thinking that it would probably exists some grammar definition 
using BNF... something more concise, for my exercise, than the user's 
documentation (the quality of which is very good).

      Sorry about that. Of course, I was wrong. There was a `die()` at the end 
of the tested function. My confusion may be due to the fact that I had 
difficulties with the scope at the end of a inserted file in which a classe 
was declared.
