-- We use a very simple recursive parser with one token of lookahead.
-- It operates on the array "subj", that at the moment is just an
-- array of strings obtained by running "split" on a given string -
-- to avoid lexing. Our grammar is:
--
--   parenexpr   ::= ( expr )
--   setexpr     ::= { }
--                 | { expr commaexpr^* }
--                 | { expr | expr commaexpr^* }
--   qlexpr      ::= Fa expr . expr
--                 | Ex expr . expr
--                 | \\ expr . expr
--   exprwos     ::= parenexpr
--                 | setexpr
--                 | qlexpr
--                 | prefixop expr
--                 | number
--                 | var
--   complement1 ::= suffixop
--                 | parenexpr
--                 | binop expr
--   expr        ::= exprwos complement1^*
--
-- Note that each alternative starts with a different token - we use
-- the "la_*" functions to choose which alternative to follow.
