+An I<infix stopper> is something that tells us the grammar not try to parse
372
+an infix at that point. Consider say C<"abc42def" ~~ m|\d+|>. Ordinarily,
373
+a C<|> in a regex is treated as an alternation, but since the infix stopper
374
+matches the current regex terminator, we don't continue and try to parse an
375
+infix at that point. The C<|> is thus treated as the end of the regex.
