+Ideas for the Future

+- Incremental parse table construction
+- "lazy GLR" and "lazy trees" -> language with first-class CF matching
+    - perhaps linear boolean grammars instead? (linear time, quad space)
+- Forest parsing => chained parsers
+- unification parsing, attributes, etc
+- RRP grammars?
+- Take another stab at maximal-match?  Nonterminal not-followed-by is
+  too strong.
+- Error recovery based on substring parsing
