well, my original claim was that the parsing code wouldn't allow the
use of numerics as device names. abramo claimed that there was no
problem with this. this example shows that there is. 

there is nothing ambiguous about the example above. the problem arises
only because a formal grammar is not being used to parse it. whatever.

they look fine, to the extent that i actually understand them :)
