[issue26156] Bad name into power operator syntax

[Guido Treutwein]

Guido Treutwein added the comment:

Yurys answer and resolution misses the point. Nobody complained about the await 
operator. Fact is, that in the _power_ operator (chapter 6.5) as base 
specification now "await" is given. This is likely to be an inadvertent copy of 
the previous chapter, makes no sense here and should probably be replaced by 
"u_expr" or similar.

[issue26156] Bad name into power operator syntax

[Guido Treutwein]

Guido Treutwein added the comment:

I'm with David here, in that a change would improve ease of comprehension:
I still find it strange, that the grammar symbol has the same name as the
keyword (or in the proposed version keyword+'expr'), which is never done on
more widely used levels. I would have expected something like
'coroutine_suspension', which reflects what it is and not which keyword is
required to state it.
