I've written a ton of parsers, and yeah this never came up before X3.

I think it didn't use to come up with X3 until some of the fixes
related to single-element sequence handling but I can't prove it. And
yeah, it's obnoxious because simple string productions often don't work.

I don't have many examples handy because I basically stopped caring, I
have learned to work around things, but it is one of the reasons I
stick with Qi in production.
