Hi,
this patch updates the syntax and the API for unresolved layouts, by
allowing a more direct modeling of the layout expression term; in the
current implementation/design, the layout an unresolved refers to is
modeled as a layout annotation. In this patch we propose to model it as
a first class subterm, as in:
unresolved = '$' '{' layoutExpr '}' annosOpt
This removes the ambiguity between unresolved layout name and referenced
layout name which is problematic in [1].
