Patterns can appear in formal parameter position, on the left of 
assignment ('=', not '+=' etc.), on the left of '=' in an initialized 
binding. I forgot about parameters in my suggested lookahead 
restriction, but the closing ')' is easy to handle and cannot occur 
legally after '?' in a ConditionalExpression.

So, lookahead restriction FTW! Or at least, let's get on with our lives. 
It saves having to duplicate most of the expression grammar a la the 
hated -NoIn productions.
