+# Replacements & Additions
+
+A “replacement & additions” file can be passed to `BuildGrammar`’s `--modification-file`/`-m`
+option and contains replacement and additional rules to be added to: verify/test a grammar,
+explore/test new language features, etc. It is a markdown (`.md`) file which follows the same
+conventions as those used for the Standard.
+
+The file is processed by `BuildGrammar` similarly to other markdown files; clauses are
+noted and text in ```` ```ANTLR ... ``` ```` code blocks is “parsed” (being generous here);
+as ANTLR rules, mode commands, and comments (and nothing else, don’t go trying to set options
+or other stuff); and added to the corresponding section in the produced grammar (`.g4`) file.
+
+The rules add to, or replace, existing rules in the corresponding clause; new rules are added
+to the end of the clause’s rule list, replacements occur in-place. Further in the replacement
+case the previous rule is kept as a comment, and this happens regardless of the previous rules
+clause i.e. a replacement can move a rule to a different clause.
+
+A rule is only a replacement if it changes the rule’s definition or clause.
+Rules with are neither additions or replacements are ignored.
+
+> *Note:* This means that a
+replacement & additions file can actually be a complete Standard section markdown file
+and only the changed rules will be extracted to update the grammar. So while working, say,
+on a PR if the original Standard’s section files are passed to `BuildGrammar` as input files,
+the section files changed by the PR are passed as modification files, then the resultant grammar will
+reflect the PR’s changes with the old rules as comments.
+
+> **Important:** section numbers in replacement & additions files are not maintained by
+the automatic section numbering tooling, they **must** be maintained manually.
+
+---
+
+# Verification-Only Replacements & Additions
+
+This set of replacements and additions is the bare minimum required to allow the grammar to verify and run, though
+it may not produce the desired parse (that requires at least the use of modes and/or
+lexical predicates).
+
+This set can be used as a basic check that the grammar is a correct ANTLR grammar.
+
+---
+
+## Top Level Rule
+
+The Standard’s *compilation_unit* as is will allow garbage at the end of a file, this
+rule has an EOF requirement to ensure the whole of the input must be a correct program.
+
+> *Note: The section number makes this the first rule in the grammar, not required but it
+has to go somewhere…*
+
+### 0.0.0 Top Level Rule
+
+```ANTLR
+// [ADDED] Rule added as the start point
+prog: compilation_unit EOF;
+```
+---
+
+## Discarding Whitespace
+
+The following changes in §7.3.2, §7.3.3 and §7.3.4, add `-> skip` to the “whitespace”
+token rules so that are not passed to the parser. This behaviour is implicit in the
+Standard.
+
+### 7.3.2 Line terminators
+
+```ANTLR
+// [SKIP]
+New_Line
+    : ( New_Line_Character
+      | '\u000D\u000A'    // carriage return, line feed 
+      ) -> skip
+    ;
+```
+
+### 7.3.3 Comments
+
+```ANTLR
+// [SKIP]
+Comment
+    : ( Single_Line_Comment
+      | Delimited_Comment
+      ) -> skip
+    ;
+```
+
+### 7.3.4 White space
+
+```ANTLR
+// [SKIP]
+Whitespace
+    : ( [\p{Zs}]  // any character with Unicode class Zs
+      | '\u0009'  // horizontal tab
+      | '\u000B'  // vertical tab
+      | '\u000C'  // form feed
+      ) -> skip
+    ;
+
+```
+
+---
+
+## Pre-processing directives
+
+This change causes all pre-processor directives to be discarded, they don’t need to be
+processed to validate the grammar (processing them would exercise the *implementation*
+of the pre-processor, which is not part of the Standard).
+
+### 7.5.1 General
+
+```ANTLR
+// [CHANGE] Discard pre-processor directives
+PP_Directive
+    : (PP_Start PP_Kind PP_New_Line) -> skip
+    ;
+```
+
+---
+
+## Mutual Left Recursion Removal
+
+All but one mutual left recursive (MLR) group has been removed from the grammar (and we should
+strive not to introduce any new ones).
+
+This change resolves the one remaining MLR group by inlining some of the non-terminal
+alternatives in *primary_no_array_creation_expression*.
+
+Non-terminals that are inlined are commented out and the inlined body is indented.
+
+This change has not been made to the Standard itself as it makes *primary_no_array_creation_expression*
+“uglier” and would obfuscate somewhat the description in the Standard.
+
+As MLR is not supported by ANTLR without this change the grammar would be rejected.
+
+### 12.7.1 General
+
+```ANTLR
+// [CHANGE] This removes a mutual left-recursion group which we have (currently?)
+// [CHANGE] decided to leave in the Standard. Without this change the grammar will fail.
