Sure, it would be a new feature, and older lexers wouldn't understand
the new grammar, but that's true of (almost) any new language feature.
The question is whether this feature is useful enough to warrant the
pain inflicted, and...  I guess there isn't all that much enthusiasm for
it?  To me it sounds more like "that'd be neat" instead of "yeah, I can
see myself using it all the time".
