::::::::::::::::::: In a syntax diagram, look for ::::::::::::::::::::
; semi-colon -- marks the beginning of a KEYWORD parameter (and perhaps
a variable list, whose members form a "family").
, comma -- precedes parameter "family members" (variables) and
helps the computer keep each member of the "family"
where it belongs.
= equal sign -- tells you that the KEYWORD has to have a = with it.
