[issue46485] ~ PEG operator in the grammar

[Robert Einhorn]

New submission from Robert Einhorn <robert.einhorn.hu at gmail.com>:

This is probably not an error and I may misinterpret the PEP 617, but I don't know what the ~ PEG operator means in the next rule if there is no alternative:
assignment_expression:
    | NAME ':=' ~ expression


And similarly with this rule if there is no more alternative:
assignment:
    | NAME ':' expression ['=' annotated_rhs ] 
    | ('(' single_target ')' 
         | single_subscript_attribute_target) ':' expression ['=' annotated_rhs ] 
    | (star_targets '=' )+ (yield_expr | star_expressions) !'=' [TYPE_COMMENT] 
    | single_target augassign ~ (yield_expr | star_expressions)
