Summary for today's meeting

• @eddyb#0426 had nothing to report since no progress has been made
• @Centril#2862 worked on an RFC rust-lang/rfcs#2602 and tested out the GLL syntax, it felt good, https://github.com/Centril/rfcs/blob/rfc/attributes-galore/text/0000-attributes-galore.md#grammar particularly with the Rule |= Additions; formatting. @qmx#4460 agreed it was pleasant and that it was "BNF done right".
• We call the notation in GLL: "lyg".
  • Change file ending to .lyg after merging PR.

• Cargo features should be tried out for nightly features
• @qmx#4460 needs to: "setup the initial test harness with rust-lang/rust vendored into the grammar repo as a submodule"
• @eddyb#0426 needs to do some stuff on the GLL side;
• @qmx#4460 will work on adding %% to GLL
• Test harness is top prio;
• @Centril#2862 will work on improving @eddyb#0426's PR wrt. style and such things.
• @ehus might split some work with @qmx.
