+(** [fix_lazy] is like [fix], but after the function reaches [max_steps]
+    deep, it wraps up the remaining computation and yields
+    back to the root of the parsing loop where it continues from there.
+
+    This is an effective way to break up the stack trace into more managable
+    chunks, which is important for Js_of_ocaml due to the lack of tailrec
+    optimizations for CPS-style tail calls. When compiling for Js_of_ocaml,
+    [fix] itself is defined as [fix_lazy ~max_steps:20]. *)
