-# This module implements the parser of the standard Nimrod representation.
-# The parser strictly reflects the grammar ("doc/grammar.txt"); however
-# it uses several helper routines to keep the parser small. A special
-# efficient algorithm is used for the precedence levels. The parser here can
-# be seen as a refinement of the grammar, as it specifies how the AST is build
-# from the grammar and how comments belong to the AST.
