+    R"*(Language and grammar for GN build files
+
+Tokens
+
+  GN build files are read as sequences of tokens.  While splitting the file
+  into tokens, the next token is the longest sequence of characters that form a
+  valid token.
+
+White space and comments
+
+  White space is comprised of spaces (U+0020), horizontal tabs (U+0009),
+  carriage returns (U+000D), and newlines (U+000A).
+
+  Comments start at the character "#" and stop at the next newline.
+
+  White space and comments are ignored except that they may separate tokens
+  that would otherwise combine into a single token.
+
+Identifiers
+
+  Identifiers name variables and functions.
+
+      identifier = letter { letter | digit } .
+      letter     = "A" ... "Z" | "a" ... "z" | "_" .
+      digit      = "0" ... "9" .
+
+Keywords
+
+  The following keywords are reserved and may not be used as identifiers:
+
+          else    false   if      true
+
+Integer literals
+
+  An integer literal represents a decimal integer value.
+
+      integer = [ "-" ] digit { digit } .
+
+  Leading zeros and negative zero are disallowed.
+
+String literals
+
+  A string literal represents a string value consisting of the quoted
+  characters with possible escape sequences and variable expansions.
+
+      string           = `"` { char | escape | expansion } `"` .
+      escape           = `\` ( "$" | `"` | char ) .
+      BracketExpansion = "{" ( identifier | ArrayAccess | ScopeAccess "
+                         ") "}" .
+      Hex              = "0x" [0-9A-Fa-f][0-9A-Fa-f]
+      expansion        = "$" ( identifier | BracketExpansion | Hex ) .
+      char             = /* any character except "$", `"`, or newline "
+                        "*/ .
+
+  After a backslash, certain sequences represent special characters:
+
+          \"    U+0022    quotation mark
+          \$    U+0024    dollar sign
+          \\    U+005C    backslash
+
+  All other backslashes represent themselves.
+
+  To insert an arbitrary byte value, use $0xFF. For example, to insert a
+  newline character: "Line one$0x0ALine two".
+
+  An expansion will evaluate the variable following the '$' and insert a
+  stringified version of it into the result. For example, to concat two path
+  components with a slash separating them:
+    "$var_one/$var_two"
+  Use the "${var_one}" format to be explicitly deliniate the variable for
+  otherwise-ambiguous cases.
+
+Punctuation
+
+  The following character sequences represent punctuation:
+
+          +       +=      ==      !=      (       )
+          -       -=      <       <=      [       ]
+          !       =       >       >=      {       }
+                          &&      ||      .       ,
+
+Grammar
+
+  The input tokens form a syntax tree following a context-free grammar:
+
+      File = StatementList .
+
+      Statement     = Assignment | Call | Condition .
+      LValue        = identifier | ArrayAccess | ScopeAccess .
+      Assignment    = LValue AssignOp Expr .
+      Call          = identifier "(" [ ExprList ] ")" [ Block ] .
+      Condition     = "if" "(" Expr ")" Block
+                      [ "else" ( Condition | Block ) ] .
+      Block         = "{" StatementList "}" .
+      StatementList = { Statement } .
+
+      ArrayAccess = identifier "[" Expr "]" .
+      ScopeAccess = identifier "." identifier .
+      Expr        = UnaryExpr | Expr BinaryOp Expr .
+      UnaryExpr   = PrimaryExpr | UnaryOp UnaryExpr .
+      PrimaryExpr = identifier | integer | string | Call
+                  | ArrayAccess | ScopeAccess | Block
+                  | "(" Expr ")"
+                  | "[" [ ExprList [ "," ] ] "]" .
+      ExprList    = Expr { "," Expr } .
+
+      AssignOp = "=" | "+=" | "-=" .
+      UnaryOp  = "!" .
+      BinaryOp = "+" | "-"                  // highest priority
+               | "<" | "<=" | ">" | ">="
+               | "==" | "!="
+               | "&&"
+               | "||" .                     // lowest priority
+
+  All binary operators are left-associative.
+
+Types
+
+  The GN language is dynamically typed. The following types are used:
+
+   - Boolean: Uses the keywords "true" and "false". There is no implicit
+     conversion between booleans and integers.
+
+   - Integers: All numbers in GN are signed 64-bit integers.
+
+   - Strings: Strings are 8-bit with no enforced encoding. When a string is
+     used to interact with other systems with particular encodings (like the
+     Windows and Mac filesystems) it is assumed to be UTF-8. See "String
+     literals" above for more.
+
+   - Lists: Lists are arbitrary-length ordered lists of values. See "Lists"
+     below for more.
+
+   - Scopes: Scopes are like dictionaries that use variable names for keys. See
+     "Scopes" below for more.
+
+Lists
+
+  Lists are created with [] and using commas to separate items:
+
+       mylist = [ 0, 1, 2, "some string" ]
+
+  A comma after the last item is optional. Lists are dereferenced using 0-based
+  indexing:
+
+       mylist[0] += 1
+       var = mylist[2]
+
+  Lists can be concatenated using the '+' and '+=' operators. Bare values can
+  not be concatenated with lists, to add a single item, it must be put into a
+  list of length one.
+
+  Items can be removed from lists using the '-' and '-=' operators. This will
+  remove all occurrences of every item in the right-hand list from the
+  left-hand list. It is an error to remove an item not in the list. This is to
+  prevent common typos and to detect dead code that is removing things that no
+  longer apply.
+
+  It is an error to use '=' to replace a nonempty list with another nonempty
+  list. This is to prevent accidentally overwriting data when in most cases
+  '+=' was intended. To overwrite a list on purpose, first assign it to the
+  empty list:
+
+    mylist = []
+    mylist = otherlist
+
+  When assigning to a list named 'sources' using '=' or '+=', list items may be
+  automatically filtered out. See "gn help set_sources_assignment_filter" for
+  more.
+
+Scopes
+
+  All execution happens in the context of a scope which holds the current state
+  (like variables). With the exception of loops and conditions, '{' introduces
+  a new scope that has a parent reference to the old scope.
+
+  Variable reads recursively search all nested scopes until the variable is
+  found or there are no more scopes. Variable writes always go into the current
+  scope. This means that after the closing '}' (again excepting loops and
+  conditions), all local variables will be restored to the previous values.
+  This also means that "foo = foo" can do useful work by copying a variable
+  into the current scope that was defined in a containing scope.
+
+  Scopes can also be assigned to variables. Such scopes can be created by
+  functions like exec_script, when invoking a template (the template code
+  refers to the variables set by the invoking code by the implicitly-created
+  "invoker" scope), or explicitly like:
+
+    empty_scope = {}
+    myvalues = {
+      foo = 21
+      bar = "something"
+    }
+
+  Inside such a scope definition can be any GN code including conditionals and
+  function calls. After the close of the scope, it will contain all variables
+  explicitly set by the code contained inside it. After this, the values can be
+  read, modified, or added to:
+
+    myvalues.foo += 2
+    empty_scope.new_thing = [ 1, 2, 3 ])*";
