MGrammar - Unordered and optional multi-projections?

Question

Given this grammar:

module test
{
    language test
    {
        syntax Main = OneTwo*;
        
        syntax OneTwo
            =  o:One t:Two "\r\n"
            => Result { One => true, Two => true }
            |  Two One "\r\n"
            => Result { One => true, Two => true }
            |  One "\r\n"
            => Result { One => true, Two => false }
            |  Two "\r\n"
            => Result { One => false, Two => true };
                
        token One = "one";
        token Two = "two";
        
        interleave Ignore = " ";
    }
}

How could I refactor the syntax "OneTwo" to have only a single projection? In my real language I have a bunch of other tokens before and after the two optional and unordered items and the | list can be quite extensive and long if I have to enumerate every possible combination. Furthermore if you have a third item ("OneTwoThree" for example) then your | list can get exponentially grow. 

Is there a trick to defining unordered and optional items in the middle of a complex syntax?

Hi. Had the same issue last year. Gio promised to fix it :-)

Yup that appears to be the exact same problem.
