Phil described that in
// SPDX-License-Identifier: 0BSD or BSL-1.0 or MIT-0
only the first item '0BSD' is discovered.
Current usage is to add parentheses. In
// SPDX-License-Identifier: ( 0BSD or BSL-1.0 or MIT-0 )
no item is discovered at all.
For stepping over the leading parenthesis the following diff could be
used as a fix:
