Hi peoples living here :p

I got a doubt about [ARM 1.1.4-1]
> The form of an Ada program is described by means of a context-free syntax together with context-dependent requirements expressed by narrative rules.

But as pointed by someone, the grammar is not LR(1), due to the fact
(which is common to many other languages), that as an exemple X(Y) can
stand for a type cast, a function call, an array access, or even an
array slice, and this cannot be decided without knowlegde of the
context.

Am I wrong or is there really a so big mistake in the ARM ?

Please, tell me :( I want to know
