Summary: Lang Ref, grammar productions should be hyperlinked

Initial Comment:
The grammar for  integer and longinteger given in
section 2.4.5 of the Language Reference is missing a
definition for  the "digit" term.

I think, the grammar should have a production like
this:
digit:  "0"..."9"

I committed changes to make this happen last Friday (6 June
2001); sorry for not closing this promptly.

(I thought I updated this yesterday, but I guess not.)

I'm re-classifying this as a feature request for hyperlinked productions in the grammar.  I showed Tim a quick prototype yesterday, and will post a revised version shortly at:

http://python.sourceforge.net/devel-docs/ref/ref.html

It's starting to look pretty cool, but there are still glitches.

"digit" is already defined, but in section 2.3 (Identifiers 
and keywords).

Fred, how much unbearable pain would it be to come with a 
(hyperlinked in HTML) grammar production index?  There are 
many cases where a production referenced in one section is 
defined in another, and it's very hard to find the 
definition whenever that occurs.
