(Introduced in OCaml 4.02.2, extended in 4.03)

Some syntactic constructions are accepted during parsing and rejected
during type checking. These syntactic constructions can therefore not
be used directly in vanilla OCaml. However, "-ppx" rewriters and other
external tools can exploit this parser leniency to extend the language
with these new syntactic constructions by rewriting them to
vanilla constructions.

(Introduced in OCaml 4.02.2, extended to unary operators in OCaml 4.12.0)
\begin{syntax}
infix-symbol:
          ...
        | "#" {operator-char} "#" {operator-char || "#"}
;
prefix-symbol:
          ...
        | ('?'||'~'||'!') { operator-char } "#" { operator-char || "#"}
;
\end{syntax}

There are two classes of operators available for extensions:
infix operators with a name starting with a "#" character and containing more
than one "#" character, and unary operators with a name (starting with a "?",
"~", or "!" character) containing at least one "#" character.

For instance:
\begin{caml_example}{toplevel}[error]
let infix x y = x##y;;
let prefix x = !#x;;
\end{caml_example}
Note that both "##" and "!#" must be eliminated by a ppx rewriter to make
this example valid.

\subsection{ss:extension-literals}{Extension literals}
(Introduced in OCaml 4.03)
\begin{syntax}
float-literal:
       ...
     | ["-"] ("0"\ldots"9") { "0"\ldots"9"||"_" } ["." { "0"\ldots"9"||"_" }]
       [("e"||"E") ["+"||"-"] ("0"\ldots"9") { "0"\ldots"9"||"_" }]
       ["g"\ldots"z"||"G"\ldots"Z"]
     | ["-"] ("0x"||"0X")
       ("0"\ldots"9"||"A"\ldots"F"||"a"\ldots"f")
       { "0"\ldots"9"||"A"\ldots"F"||"a"\ldots"f"||"_" }\\
       ["." { "0"\ldots"9"||"A"\ldots"F"||"a"\ldots"f"||"_" }]
       [("p"||"P") ["+"||"-"] ("0"\ldots"9") { "0"\ldots"9"||"_" }]
       ["g"\ldots"z"||"G"\ldots"Z"]
;
int-literal:
           ...
        | ["-"] ("0"\ldots"9") { "0"\ldots"9" || "_" }["g"\ldots"z"||"G"\ldots"Z"]
        | ["-"] ("0x"||"0X") ("0"\ldots"9"||"A"\ldots"F"||"a"\ldots"f")
          { "0"\ldots"9"||"A"\ldots"F"||"a"\ldots"f"||"_" }
          ["g"\ldots"z"||"G"\ldots"Z"]
        | ["-"] ("0o"||"0O") ("0"\ldots"7") { "0"\ldots"7"||"_" }
          ["g"\ldots"z"||"G"\ldots"Z"]
        | ["-"] ("0b"||"0B") ("0"\ldots"1") { "0"\ldots"1"||"_" }
          ["g"\ldots"z"||"G"\ldots"Z"]
;
\end{syntax}
Int and float literals followed by an one-letter identifier in the
range @["g".."z"||"G".."Z"]@ are extension-only literals.
