 # Grammar for Python, version 5
 
 # Changes compared to version 4:
+#	Blank lines and lines only containing a comment are now eaten
+#		by the lexer, so the NEWLINE* things in suite are gone
+#		(but the 2nd NEWLINE terminating single_input stays!)
 #	Semicolons can separate small statements
 #	'continue' statement
 #	Dictionary constructors: {key:value, key:value, ...}
