You're hurting my program's feelings!

Actually, I intend to keep this program as the nice HTML version of
the BNF that it produces is a big advance over the source from
GvR. I'll rerun this from time to time to keep my BNF up to date.
A second intent was to have the next sorry coder who searched for
'Python BNF'  get a better answer than I got, which is already the
case.

The discussion re globals is entirely academic, of course, with this
little program being merely illustrative.
