field-specification Deviation Double-Check

Open bgribaudo opened this issue 1 year ago • 0 comments

Hello,

In https://github.com/microsoft/powerquery-parser/blob/master/specification.md, the following deviation from the M language spec is mentioned:

  • The field-specification construct requires an identifier. Instead identifer is replaced with generalized-identifier.

The spec currently contains the following grammar definitions:

field-specification:
      optional(opt) field-name field-type-specification(opt)

field-name:
      generalized-identifier
      quoted-identifier

With the way field-name currently is defined, is the above-quoted bullet a legacy relic that can be removed?

Ben
