This package provides DCG related utilities.
It is organised into several modules:

*	library(dcg_core)
	Provides predicates which can be used in DCGs where the threaded
	state variable can be of any type, not just lists of terminals as
	with applications to grammars in the linguistic sense.
*	library(dcg_codes)
	Utilities for DCGs over sequences of character codes, ie, grammars
	in the linguistic sense. Note that only some of these can be used
	for both parsing and generation. The rules for writing Prolog values
	of various types can only be used for generation.
*	library(dcg_macros)
	Provides goal expansions for some of the mapping predicates in
	library(dcg_core), similar to those in library(apply_macros).
*	library(dcg_progress)
	Sequencing predicates that show progress information, for slow-running
	processes on sequences.
*	library(dcg_pair)
	Operators for working with DCGs over pair states.
*	library(dcg_shell)
	Provides a top-level read-eval-print loop similar to the Prolog top-level,
	but for running DCG goals and managing the current 'state'.
*	library(snobol)
	A collection of SNOBOL inspired pattern matching predicates.
