Wouldn't it be better to make the second pattern start on new line
 instead of the outer \(\|\)?

I didn't even know that was possible, but suddenly I understand the
"java" pattern a lot better.  Thanks!

 Why "type"?

Well, it's a subsection, but it's always followed by a class or record
definition anyway, so I guess it makes more sense to omit it, now that
you bring it up.

Have fun,
