We currently use a convention where we quote token names and leave predefined special keys (e.g. inside, greedy etc) unquoted, but that's a bit obscure, and it means that any code that handles grammars needs to maintain a list of special keys to figure out what the actual tokens are. Using a naming convention makes that very clear and gives us several benefits:

  • Code that handles grammars can figure out what is a token name without hardcoding all special keys
  • Token names and special keys can co-exist in the same object literal
  • Much more obvious what is what
