I think pgen would complain if you had two rules that could
both match at the same time, so the question doesn't apply.

BTW, be careful with terminology here -- the terms "top down"
and "bottom up" have a different meaning in parsing theory
(they refer to the way the parse tree is built, not the order
of matching in a list of rules).
