         When the JSON pointer traverses intermediate levels that don't exist at all yet (not just a missing
         leaf), each missing level is created as an array or an object depending on whether the corresponding
-        pointer token is a valid array index: a token that is a nonempty sequence of digits without a leading
-        `0` (or the token `-`) creates an array, and every other token creates an object. For example, on an
+        pointer token is a valid array index: the token `0`, a sequence of digits that does not begin with `0`,

         initially `#!json null` value, `/foo/0/0/0` creates nested arrays, while `/foo/one/one/one` creates
         nested objects. Tokens such as `01` or the empty token cannot be array indices (cf. RFC 6901, Sect. 4)
         and therefore create objects, just as they would if the level already existed as an object. This is not
