[Laszlo-dev] basegrid attributes with value=$immediately{null} ?

[P T Withington]

[cc-ing laszlo-dev to share these oral traditions]

`value="$x{y}"` is shorthand for `value="x" when="y"`, so I would say  
the doc tool needs to know how to parse both.

OTOH `$immediately{null}` is exactly the same as `null`; i.e., the  
default value for `when` is immediately.

Oh and, `${y}` is shorthand for `$always{y}`, because that is the most  
common reason for a when other than immediately.

The simple work-around for now would appear to be to remove the  
(useles) constraint from the source.
