left-factorization is a feature of camlp5 that refactors consecutive parser rules that share a prefix:
https://camlp5.readthedocs.io/en/latest/parsers.html#left-factorization
If we stop relying on this feature we can potentially move the parser to ppx_parser, which is a camlp4 alternative so it doesn't support this camlp5 feature.
