Comment (by simonpj):
Yes there's some overlap (with the existing productions) in the grammar.
I considered having rules for all combinations of with and without foralls
and context (for each of the two forms of head) leading to six productions
instead of two, but I decided against.
The grammar isn't trying to tell you which extension you are using, just
what forms are legal.
I don't feel strongly; it does not seem v important.
