   No, it more points out that not all errors are grammatical. The grammar
   does not (and can not) fully define what is a legal program. Some forms of
   error are semantic, like undefined symbols.

   It appears that rather than try to make the grammar complicated enough to
   describe what is a valid string, that operation was moved into the
   semantics of a string, which simplifies the rules quite a bit.
