In light of all the recent grammar documentation issues; I'm going to suggest that either the parser or the BNF documentation or both need to be generated from a single source.

Given that Walker is unlikely to dump his hand written parser, the most likely solution would be to somehow extract the grammar from the parser source and insert it into the docs as a set of macros.

From general code it would be crazy to attempt it, but IIRC the parser code is very regular. With some refactoring it might be possible to make it regular enough to extract the grammar mechanically.

Changing this to enhancement since there's actually no identified bug.

I'm making an attempt at documenting the grammar here:
