I think the idea of having "list" inside parentheses is to document that in case of sequences, only "one-expression" expression lists are legal.
That being said, IMHO, explaining that in actual prose would be better, but removing the parentheses (taking into account that there's a description of what the expected evaluation of sequences subscription expression lists is) is enough, plus, it's the production list term's name.
If a prose is considered better, it could read:
"If the primary is a sequence, the expression list must be formed by only one expression, and it must evaluate to an integer or a slice (as discussed in the following section)."
Couldn't find the original author. It was committed before the move to mercurial, and I don't know if there's a subversion repo still available to see historical changes. |
