We use this construct in many places these days. A few years ago I added
a comment whenever I added an instance, but most others don't so I treat
it as an idiom now.
"depends on X" means that if X=m, the current symbol can only be "m" or
"n", while "X=y" means it can have any value.
So for "depends on X || X=n", the current symbol cannot be "y" when "X=m",
but otherwise can have any of the three possibilities. This is exactly what
we need here.
