Hello!Thank you. I was fooled by the fact that sometimes it is marked with [...] and other times with [,...]
I think that consistency might worth attention, since [...] may indicate "anything", while [,...] are more likely to indicate a specific thing that may be repeated.
Best regards, Cristi Boboc

Hmm, the main synopsis has
when_clause [...]
where the [...] is there to indicate that when_clause can appear an
arbitrary number of times.

There's no specific restriction, although I didn't try to find a
limit. I wonder what happens if you have a few hundred thousand ...
Time to experiment, I guess.
