Operators in 1003.1

["Rocky Bernstein" <rocky.bernstein@xxxxxxxxx>]

In XCU 2299  in section 2.3 "Token recognition " and  XCU 2325 mention
is made of token "operators". However in the grammar XCU 2327 only
some of those token operators are listed, namely those that are more
than one character long which I guess those used in the grammar.
Scattered throughout  the rest of the document though you can find
mention of other single character token operators. In particular
parenthesis (which serves double duty for subshell and case) close
parenthesis, the pipe symbol, semicolon and possibly the arithmetic
operators (some of which are more than one character).

Given the implication that in parsing these tokens need not have white
space around them, wouldn't it be helpful to have a list somewhere and
to more explicit what all of the token operators are? Also, I note
that in some parts of the document these operators are further split
up into other categories like "arithmetic operator" (which is relevant
only in a particular arithmetic context?) "control operator" or
"redirection operator" perhaps "list operator".

Again wouldn't be helpful to have these listed all in one place somewhere?

Thanks.
