     1.5  Proof methods are either basic ones, or expressions composed of methods via
     1.6  ``\texttt{,}'' (sequential composition), ``\texttt{|}'' (alternative choices),
     1.7 -``\texttt{?}'' (try), ``\texttt{*}'' (repeat ${} \ge 0$ times), ``\texttt{+}''
     1.8 -(repeat ${} > 0$ times).  In practice, proof methods are usually just a comma
     1.9 -separated list of \railqtoken{nameref}~\railnonterm{args} specifications.
