/** This class implements a skeleton table driven LR parser.  In general,
 *  LR parsers are a form of bottom up shift-reduce parsers.  Shift-reduce
 *  parsers act by shifting input onto a parse stack until the Symbols
 *  matching the right hand side of a production appear on the top of the
 *  stack.  Once this occurs, a reduce is performed.  This involves removing
 *  the Symbols corresponding to the right hand side of the production
 *  (the so called "handle") and replacing them with the non-terminal from
 *  the left hand side of the production.  <p>
 *
 *  To control the decision of whether to shift or reduce at any given point,
 *  the parser uses a state machine (the "viable prefix recognition machine"
 *  built by the parser generator).  The current state of the machine is placed
 *  on top of the parse stack (stored as part of a Symbol object representing
 *  a terminal or non terminal).  The parse action table is consulted
 *  (using the current state and the current lookahead Symbol as indexes) to
 *  determine whether to shift or to reduce.  When the parser shifts, it
 *  changes to a new state by pushing a new Symbol (containing a new state)
 *  onto the stack.  When the parser reduces, it pops the handle (right hand
 *  side of a production) off the stack.  This leaves the parser in the state
 *  it was in before any of those Symbols were matched.  Next the reduce-goto
 *  table is consulted (using the new state and current lookahead Symbol as
 *  indexes) to determine a new state to go to.  The parser then shifts to
 *  this goto state by pushing the left hand side Symbol of the production
 *  (also containing the new state) onto the stack.<p>
 *
 *  This class actually provides four LR parsers.  The methods parse() and
 *  debug_parse() provide two versions of the main parser (the only difference
 *  being that debug_parse() emits debugging trace messages as it parses).
 *  In addition to these main parsers, the error recovery mechanism uses two
 *  more.  One of these is used to simulate "parsing ahead" in the input
 *  without carrying out actions (to verify that a potential error recovery
 *  has worked), and the other is used to parse through buffered "parse ahead"
 *  input in order to execute all actions and re-synchronize the actual parser
 *  configuration.<p>
 *
 *  This is an abstract class which is normally filled out by a subclass
 *  generated by the JavaCup parser generator.  In addition to supplying
 *  the actual parse tables, generated code also supplies methods which
 *  invoke various pieces of user supplied code, provide access to certain
 *  special Symbols (e.g., EOF and error), etc.  Specifically, the following
 *  abstract methods are normally supplied by generated code:
 *  <dl compact>
 *  <dt> short[][] production_table()
 *  <dd> Provides a reference to the production table (indicating the index of
 *       the left hand side non terminal and the length of the right hand side
 *       for each production in the grammar).
 *  <dt> short[][] action_table()
 *  <dd> Provides a reference to the parse action table.
 *  <dt> short[][] reduce_table()
 *  <dd> Provides a reference to the reduce-goto table.
 *  <dt> int start_state()
 *  <dd> Indicates the index of the start state.
 *  <dt> int start_production()
 *  <dd> Indicates the index of the starting production.
 *  <dt> int EOF_sym()
 *  <dd> Indicates the index of the EOF Symbol.
 *  <dt> int error_sym()
 *  <dd> Indicates the index of the error Symbol.
 *  <dt> Symbol do_action()
 *  <dd> Executes a piece of user supplied action code.  This always comes at
 *       the point of a reduce in the parse, so this code also allocates and
 *       fills in the left hand side non terminal Symbol object that is to be
 *       pushed onto the stack for the reduce.
 *  <dt> void init_actions()
 *  <dd> Code to initialize a special object that encapsulates user supplied
 *       actions (this object is used by do_action() to actually carry out the
 *       actions).
 *  </dl>
 *
 *  In addition to these routines that <i>must</i> be supplied by the
 *  generated subclass there are also a series of routines that <i>may</i>
 *  be supplied.  These include:
 *  <dl>
 *  <dt> Symbol scan()
 *  <dd> Used to get the next input Symbol from the scanner.
 *  <dt> Scanner getScanner()
 *  <dd> Used to provide a scanner for the default implementation of
 *       scan().
 *  <dt> int error_sync_size()
 *  <dd> This determines how many Symbols past the point of an error
 *       must be parsed without error in order to consider a recovery to
 *       be valid.  This defaults to 3.  Values less than 2 are not
 *       recommended.
 *  <dt> void report_error(String message, Object info)
 *  <dd> This method is called to report an error.  The default implementation
 *       simply prints a message to System.err and where the error occurred.
 *       This method is often replaced in order to provide a more sophisticated
 *       error reporting mechanism.
 *  <dt> void report_fatal_error(String message, Object info)
 *  <dd> This method is called when a fatal error that cannot be recovered from
 *       is encountered.  In the default implementation, it calls
 *       report_error() to emit a message, then throws an exception.
 *  <dt> void syntax_error(Symbol cur_token)
 *  <dd> This method is called as soon as syntax error is detected (but
 *       before recovery is attempted).  In the default implementation it
 *       invokes: report_error("Syntax error", null);
 *  <dt> void unrecovered_syntax_error(Symbol cur_token)
 *  <dd> This method is called if syntax error recovery fails.  In the default
 *       implementation it invokes:<br>
 *         report_fatal_error("Couldn't repair and continue parse", null);
 *  </dl>
