Well, ok, that's a bit too much of an exaggeration; after all, 
this:
   ^('not' ^('and' c51=. c52=.))
with "." handling both cases (as I still maintain it should) could 
be rendered like this if there were separate . and _ operators 
(which I still dislike):
   ^('not' ^('and' c51=wild c52=wild))
wild : . | _ ;
But that seems really silly.
