True, but the problem is that the brackets don't correspond. There are
two brackets on the left, options and "Pattern", and "S+" in the left
bracket is not related to the "only" options. If we had used braces:
\df{antw}[S+] [PATTERN] list {only agg/normal/trigger/window} functions
that would make sense, but we don't have space nor are braces logically
correct for this usage.
