Description
I'd like to typeset several productions of a grammar at once, such that it displays roughly as
term ::= ...
| term + term
| term * term
| term / term
I tried the subjectively intuitive thing, writing one grammar block and separating each production by a newline:
```grammar
$_:term + $_:term
$_:term * $_:term
$_:term / $_:term
```
But that displays as
term ::= ...
| term + term
term * term
term / term
and actually parses everything as one big production, it seems.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue's grammar block example in Verso and inspect how consecutive productions are parsed and rendered. Done means separate productions display as alternatives, with each line after the first prefixed by |, rather than being treated as one production.
