The descriptions of lexical analysis and syntax use a modified [Backus—Naur form BNF ] grammar notation. But there is no exact how far it modifies BNF, except some examples followed. Of course you may understand better with verbal explanation followed. But since there is a notation, why not get most of points through it? Then that notation can be visualized to railroad diagrams. So it is not about BNF itself, it is to visualize the grammar with some existing tools. So that would be a painful path to go. Do people favoring to view visualized grammar deserve said changes? Please share your ideas. Thanks for your inputs!

I absolutely LOVE this idea, but am worried that the diagrams could get out of sync with the text, which would make them worse than useless. Yes, it is planned so. It should be. And in an ideal way all the notations in doc should be extracted from CPython source code instead of manually edited.
