Marpa-R2 2.077_011
<https://metacpan.org/release/JKEGL/Marpa-R2-2.077_011> installed
successfully for me on cygwin and windows. The new HL interface is very
appealing.

ASF.pod contains this passage:

A symch is a series of alternatives (factorings) which share the same rule
id. and the same glade. For this purpose, the *undef* of a token
alternative is considered a rule ID.
...
Recall that for this purpose, the token alternative's *undef* is considered
a rule ID.

s/undef/ID/? Or am I missing something?
