Lua grammar question

[Asger Ottar Alstrup <aalstrup@...>]

The Lua grammar contains these three lines to describe the syntax for 
function calls:

	functioncall = p args | p ':' Name args
	p = var | functioncall | '(' exp ')'
	var = Name | p '[' exp ']' | p '.' Name

That is left recursive in strange ways, and thus Greek to me. Based on 
my understanding of the language, I've tried to rewrite it to something 
which is easier to understand for me. Does this match the grammar?

	functioncall =
		( Name | '(' exp ')' )
		( args | '.' Name | ':' Name | '[' exp ']' )*
		args
