 This expression is either |expr9| or a sequence of the alternatives below,
 in any order.  E.g., these are all possible:
-	expr9[expr1].name
-	expr9.name[expr1]
-	expr9(expr1, ...)[expr1].name
-	expr9->(expr1, ...)[expr1]
+	expr8[expr1].name
+	expr8.name[expr1]
+	expr8(expr1, ...)[expr1].name
+	expr8->(expr1, ...)[expr1]
 Evaluation is always from left to right.
