Nested Quasis

[Brendan Eich]

I like Erik's way, but it makes a strange loop from lexical to syntactic 
grammar. It all works, I believe.

The loop is here:

     QuasiHole ::
         Identifier
         { Spacing* Expression Spacing* }


Expression is a syntactic grammar non-terminal, yet here we are in a 
lexical production.

Waldemar, is this sound?
