-   * Error recovery should skip tokens until it encounters a recovery point. skip() treats
-   * the end of input and a ';' as unconditionally a recovery point. It also treats ')',
-   * '}' and ']' as conditional recovery points if one of calling productions is expecting
-   * one of these symbols. This allows skip() to recover from errors such as '(a.) + 1' allowing
-   * more of the AST to be retained (it doesn't skip any tokens as the ')' is retained because
-   * of the '(' begins an '(' <expr> ')' production). The recovery points of grouping symbols
-   * must be conditional as they must be skipped if none of the calling productions are not
-   * expecting the closing token else we will never make progress in the case of an
-   * extraneous group closing symbol (such as a stray ')'). This is not the case for ';' because
-   * parseChain() is always the root production and it expects a ';'.
+   * Error recovery should skip tokens until it encounters a recovery point.
    *
-   * Furthermore, the presence of a stateful context can add more recovery points.
-   *   - in a `Writable` context, we are able to recover after seeing the `=` operator, which
-   *     signals the presence of an independent rvalue expression following the `=` operator.
+   * The following are treated as unconditional recovery points:
+   *   - end of input
+   *   - ';' (parseChain() is always the root production, and it expects a ';')
+   *   - '|' (since pipes may be chained and each pipe expression may be treated independently)
+   *
+   * The following are conditional recovery points:
+   *   - ')', '}', ']' if one of calling productions is expecting one of these symbols

+   *       signals the presence of an independent rvalue expression following the `=` operator.
    *
    * If a production expects one of these token it increments the corresponding nesting count,
    * and then decrements it just prior to checking if the token is in the input.
