/* BEGIN unintuitive rules for decs (which avoid shift/reduce conflicts)     */
/* ------------------------------------------------------------------------- */
/*
  In order to support mutual recursion, we need to group consecutive
  type and function declarations (see Tiger-book pages 97-99).

  Initially, I defined the rules to do so as:

    decs:
      | dec      { $1 :: [] }
      | dec decs { $1 :: $2 }
      ;
    dec:
      | var_dec  { $1 }
      | typ_decs { Ast.TypeDecs $1 }
      | fun_decs { Ast.FunDecs $1 }
      ;

  which, while straightforward (and working, because ocamlyacc defaults to
  shift in case of a conflict), nonetheless caused a shift/reduce conflict in
  each of: typ_decs and fun_decs; where the parser did not know whether to
  shift and stay in (typ|fun_)_dec state or to reduce and get back to dec
  state.

  Sadly, tagging the rules with a lower precedence (to explicitly favor
  shifting) - does not help :(

    %nonassoc LOWEST
    ...
    dec:
      | var_dec                { $1 }
      | typ_decs  %prec LOWEST { Ast.TypeDecs $1 }
      | fun_decs  %prec LOWEST { Ast.FunDecs $1 }
      ;

  The difficulty seems to be in the lack of a separator token which would be
  able to definitively mark the end of each sequence of consecutive
  (typ_|fun_) declarations.

  Keeping this in mind, another alternative is to manually capture the possible
  interspersion patterns in the rules like:

    (N * foo) followed-by (N * not-foo)

  for the exception of var_dec, which, since we do not need to group its
  consecutive sequences, can be reduced upon first sighting.
