1) Will the "{*}" syntax to invoke an external action method from
within a grammar be an official part of the language, or an
implementation hack?
2) If it becomes official, how should people specify the action class/
instance to be used with a grammar?

Well, leaving that rant aside, I'm still tempted to say that times
