I don't see how that can be sufficient. All the other tokens
have entries in the three places I mentioned, and there's
no way that pgen can generate those automatically just from
seeing a '?' in the grammar.

I just tried an experiment -- I changed the grammar to accept
'?' as an alternative to '+', and tried to use the parser
module to parse "1?2". It reported a SyntaxError.
