=begin Introduction

This is the rules portion of the grammar for the Rakudo compiler,
an implementation of Perl 6 on Parrot.  This grammar is modeled
after the STD.pm grammar that Larry Wall and others are developing,
available from L<http://svn.pugscode.org/pugs/src/perl6/STD.pm>.

Our ultimate goal is to have this grammar and STD.pm converge
with each other, to form an "official" Perl 6 grammar.  But
there's a lot to do between here and that goal.  For one, Parrot
doesn't yet have a rules engine that understands all of the
constructs that appear in STD.pm, such as protoregexes .
Another challenge is that the language specification itself
changes from time to time as the various implementations progress.
So, we can't just blindly copy STD.pm .

When adding a new construct or feature to this grammar,
be sure to look at STD.pm first to see how it achieves the
result.  If STD.pm's approach can be copied directly, do that.
If not, then try to get a close as possible (e.g., by using
STD.pm's names).  And yes, there are times when STD.pm may
adopt things done here.  But we want to keep them as close
as we can.

In each of the rules below, the special notation C<{*}>
marks a point in the rule where a corresponding method
from Perl6::Grammar::Actions (F<src/parser/actions.pl>)
is invoked.  These actions will then construct the abstract
syntax tree nodes as the source program is being parsed.

The C<#=> markers at the ends of lines look like comments,
but they're used to distinguish multiple C<{*}> actions
within a rule.  (This is how STD.pm is organized, also.)
The value following any C<#=> marker is passed as a
'key' argument to the action method invoked by C<{*}>
earlier in the line.

Rules with only one action need no #= comment.

####  whitespace, comments, pod ####

##  The <ws> token is used to match "whitespace", which includes
##  things like spaces, comments, and pod comments.  It also
##  memoizes the last whitespace token matched into C<$!ws>,
##  and short circuits if we are at the same position as the
##  last ws token matched.

##  precedence parser.  At the moment the operator
##  tokens are defined in F<src/parser/grammar-oper.pg>,
##  using a prototype function syntax (because PGE doesn't
##  yet support protoregexes).  When the operator precedence
##  parser needs a term, it gets it by calling the 'term'
##  token above.

## rule EXPR is optable { ... }
