(** Extensible grammars.

    added by loading the Camlp5 [pa_extend.cmo] file. *)

       the corresponding values currently used in all entries of this grammar.
       The integer is the number of times this pattern value is used.

       Examples:
-      The call [Grammar.tokens g ""] returns the keywords list.
-      The call [Grammar.tokens g "IDENT"] returns the list of all usages
       of the pattern "IDENT" in the [EXTEND] statements. *)

   (** Module to handle entries.
-      [Entry.e] is the type for entries returning values of type ['a].
-      [Entry.create g n] creates a new entry named [n] in the grammar [g].
-      [Entry.parse e] returns the stream parser of the entry [e].
-      [Entry.parse_all e] returns the stream parser returning all possible
          values while parsing with the entry [e]: may return more than one
          value when the parsing algorithm is [Backtracking]
-      [Entry.parse_all e] returns the parser returning all possible values.
-      [Entry.parse_token e] returns the token parser of the entry [e].
-      [Entry.parse_parsable e] returns the parsable parser of the entry [e].
-      [Entry.name e] returns the name of the entry [e].
-      [Entry.of_parser g n p] makes an entry from a token stream parser.
-      [Entry.print e] displays the entry [e] using [Format].
-      [Entry.find e s] finds the entry named [s] in the rules of [e].
-      [Entry.obj e] converts an entry into a [Gramext.g_entry] allowing
          to see what it holds. *)

       care, because: 1) reinitializing a grammar destroys all tokens
       and there may have problems with the associated lexer if there
       are keywords; 2) clearing an entry does not destroy the tokens
       used only by itself.
-      [Unsafe.reinit_gram g lex] removes the tokens of the grammar
-      and sets [lex] as a new lexer for [g]. Warning: the lexer
-      itself is not reinitialized.
-      [Unsafe.clear_entry e] removes all rules of the entry [e]. *)

         [Backtracking]: use functional streams with full backtracking
         [DefaultAlgorithm]: found in the variable [backtrack_parse] below.
       The default, when a grammar is created, is [DefaultAlgorithm]. *)

value set_algorithm : g -> parse_algorithm -> unit;
   (** Set the parsing algorithm for all entries of a given grammar. *)

value backtrack_parse : ref bool;
   (** If [True], the default parsing uses full backtracking. If [False],
       it uses parsing with normal streams. If the environment variable
       CAMLP5PARAM contains "b", the default is [True]; otherwise, the
       default is [False]. *)

value backtrack_stalling_limit : ref int;
   (** Limitation of backtracking to prevent stalling in case of syntax
       error. In backtracking algorithm, when there is a syntax error,
       the parsing continues trying to find another solution. It some
       grammars, it can be very long before checking all possibilities.
       This number limits the number of tokens tests after a backtrack.
       (The number of tokens tests is reset to zero when the token
       stream overtakes the last reached token.) The default is 10000.
       If set to 0, there is no limit. Can be set by the environment
       variable CAMLP5PARAM by "l=value". *)

(** {6 Functorial interface} *)

   (** Alternative for grammars use. Grammars are no more Ocaml values:
       there is no type for them. Modules generated preserve the

       normal OCaml typing. *)

-      Grammars are not values. Functions holding a grammar as parameter
         do not have this parameter yet.
-      The type [parsable] is used in function [parse] instead of
         the char stream, avoiding the possible loss of tokens.
-      The type of tokens (expressions and patterns) can be any
         type (instead of (string * string)); the module parameter
         must specify a way to show them as (string * string) *)

   (** [Grammar.skip_item x] can be called in a semantic action of
       a grammar rule to ask the grammar to skip that item if it
       is called in a list (LIST0 or LIST1). The function returns
       the item itself (for typing reasons) but its value is ignored.
