Alias rules?

[hillin]

e.g.

foo = { "foo" }
bar = { "bar" }
foo_or_bar = { foo | bar }
parser = { "abc" ~ foo_or_bar ~ "def" }

I'd like to have the foo and bar rules in the parse result of parser, but not foo_or_bar, i.e. foo_or_bar is just an alias of foo | bar.

How about using a silent rule?

[hillin]

Oh, I thought silent rule omits its inner tokens too. Thanks!

[glyn]

I can see why you thought that based on the documentation. Any inner rules of a silent rule are not themselves silent (unless you declare them to be silent). Perhaps it's worth raising a doc issue?

[hillin]

You bet. I've opened an issue here: https://github.com/pest-parser/pest/issues/678
