Yeah, when I began, I tried the method same as a_expr IDENT as you.
That is because I thought that it was effective in order to avoid a conflict
simply. It is worried that it may cause the problem of next operation by the
reason IDENT is not the simple token. Therefore, c_expr IDENT of the
method of doing with a basic rule was proposed. However, If it is allowed
in the place which you consider, I don't have an objection.
