That's my understanding - yes.

Hi Gavin,

I deliberately didn't mention predicates :-)  Partly to just try to
answer the question that Søren was asking, and partly, as a constant
beginner myself, I find that my grammars are much more readable and
maintainable without lots manually added predicates.
