Lightweight and interesting, this Gray parser-generator.

Example:

Gray's meta notation uses a postix operator "&&" for "separator list".

"&&" seems particularly elegant and interesting:

If Gray: "a b &&" ---> EBNF: "a { b a }"

then  I assume:

"a b && c &&" ---> "a { b a } { c a }"

and so on ...

Further "a b && b && ..." ===> "a b &&"

??? Is my understanding correct?
