What about something like
MemberExpression[?Yield] ?|.| IdentifierName
MemberExpression[?Yield] ?*[* Expression[In, ?Yield] |]|
Context specific to MemberExpressions, as far as I'm aware there's no otherwise
valid ternary expression that could be mixed up for it, and it wouldn't need a
cover grammar?
We can try being this precise, as you say -- but we cannot then handle
x?(y) as CoffeeScript does. Instead of being neither fish nor fowl,
better to be fowl with leading ?, or use a distinct and regular syntax
that handles all the cases we want. My two cents,
