[Python-Dev] Nonlocal shortcut

Hi,

I'm currently implementing a parser to handle Python 3.0, and one of
the points I found conflicting with the grammar specification is the
PEP 3104.

It says that a shortcut would be added to Python 3.0 so that "nonlocal
x = 0" can be written. However, the latest grammar specification
(http://docs.python.org/dev/3.0/reference/grammar.html?highlight=full%20grammar)
doesn't seem to take that into account... So, can someone enlighten me
on what should be the correct treatment for that on a grammar that
wants to support Python 3.0?

Thanks,

Fabio
