My use of "LogicalOp" was just indicating that the use of "Bool" in that
line was probably meant to mean "Logical Operator", and these are
documented in "9.1 Logical Operators" here:
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/14/functions-logical.html
(PostgreSQL docs don't refer to AND/OR etc. as boolean operators)

Perhaps, to make it clear, the change for the example compound expression
could simply be:

+ * - (Var Op Const) AND/OR (Var Op Const)

or at least say something like "    - where boolop is AND/OR".
