/* Representation of the grammar rules:

   NTOKENS is the number of tokens, and NVARS is the number of
   variables (nonterminals).  NSYMS is the total number, ntokens +
   nvars.

   Each symbol (either token or variable) receives a symbol number.
   Numbers 0 to NTOKENS - 1 are for tokens, and NTOKENS to NSYMS - 1
   are for variables.  Symbol number zero is the end-of-input token.
   This token is counted in ntokens.  The true number of token values
   assigned is NTOKENS reduced by one for each alias declaration.

   The rules receive rule numbers 1 to NRULES in the order they are
   written.  More precisely Bison augments the grammar with the
   initial rule, `$accept: START-SYMBOL $end', which is numbered 1,
   all the user rules are 2, 3 etc.  Each time a rule number is
   presented to the user, we subtract 1, so *displayed* rule numbers
   are 0, 1, 2...

   Internally, we cannot use the number 0 for a rule because for
   instance RITEM stores both symbol (the RHS) and rule numbers: the
   symbols are shorts >= 0, and rule number are stored negative.
   Therefore 0 cannot be used, since it would be both the rule number
   0, and the token $end).

   Actions are accessed via the rule number.

   The rules themselves are described by several arrays: amongst which
   RITEM, and RULES.

   RULES is an array of rules, whose members are:

   RULES[R].lhs -- the symbol of the left hand side of rule R.

   RULES[R].rhs -- the index in RITEM of the beginning of the portion
   for rule R.

   RULES[R].prec -- the symbol providing the precedence level of R.

   RULES[R].precsym -- the symbol attached (via %prec) to give its
   precedence to R.  Of course, if set, it is equal to `prec', but we
   need to distinguish one from the other when reducing: a symbol used
   in a %prec is not useless.

   RULES[R].assoc -- the associativity of R.

   RULES[R].dprec -- the dynamic precedence level of R (for GLR
   parsing).

   RULES[R].merger -- index of merging function for R (for GLR
   parsing).

   RULES[R].line -- the line where R was defined.

   RULES[R].useful -- true iff the rule is used (i.e., false if thrown
   away by reduce).

   The right hand side is stored as symbol numbers in a portion of
   RITEM.

   The length of the portion is one greater than the number of symbols
   in the rule's right hand side.  The last element in the portion
   contains minus R, which identifies it as the end of a portion and
   says which rule it is for.

   The portions of RITEM come in order of increasing rule number.
   NRITEMS is the total length of RITEM.  Each element of RITEM is
   called an "item" and its index in RITEM is an item number.

   Item numbers are used in the finite state machine to represent
   places that parsing can get to.

   SYMBOLS[I]->prec records the precedence level of each symbol.

   Precedence levels are assigned in increasing order starting with 1
   so that numerically higher precedence values mean tighter binding
   as they ought to.  Zero as a symbol or rule's precedence means none
   is assigned.

   Associativities are recorded similarly in SYMBOLS[I]->assoc.  */
