      Agreed, with the exception that the list contains 4 token types, not 5:

      The syntax, or structure, of CQL is built from several basic elements that are all classified as tokens. There are four different types of tokens present in CQL: symbols, such as + and *, keywords, such as define and from, literals, such as 5 and 'active', and identifiers, such as Person and "Inpatient Encounters".

      Makes it a little more clear that each of the “several basic elements” are a type of token, which then builds up CQL.

      Existing Wording:

      The syntax, or structure, of CQL is built from several basic elements called tokens. These tokens are symbols, such as + and *, keywords, such as define and from, literals, such as 5 and 'active', and identifiers, such as Person and "Inpatient Encounters".

      Proposed Wording:

      The syntax, or structure, of CQL is built from several basic elements that are all classified as tokens. There are five different types of tokens present in CQL: symbols, such as + and *, keywords, such as define and from, literals, such as 5 and 'active', and identifiers, such as Person and "Inpatient Encounters".
