Unordered group separator [message #1766569]

Hello everybody,

as shown in [url=https://eclipse.org/Xtext/documentation/301_grammarlanguage.html#unordered-groups] it is possible to define unordered groups.

Is it also possible to define a separator for an unordered group?
So for instance
public static final
static protected
final private static
public

can become a comma separated list
public, static, final
static, protected
final, private, static
public

Thank you in advance

I think this is not possible. You may want to simulate the behavior with a combination of content assist and validation, so that existing alternatives are not proposed twice and if entered this would be invalid.
