;; DATA STRUCTURES AND ALGORITHMS (for sal.lsp and parse.lsp)
;;
;; TOKENIZE converts source language (a string) into a list of tokens
;;    each token is represented as follows:
;;    (:TOKEN <type> <string> <start> <info> <lisp>)
;;    where <type> is one of:
;;        :id -- an identifier
;;        :lp -- left paren
;;        :rp -- right paren
;;        :+, etc. -- operators
;;        :int -- an integer
;;        :float -- a float
;;        :print, etc. -- a reserved word
;;    <string> is the source string for the token
;;    <start> is the column of the string
;;    <info> and <lisp> are ??
;; Tokenize uses a list of reserved words extracted from terminals in
;;    the grammar. Each reserved word has an associated token type, but
;;    all other identifiers are simply of type :ID.
;;
;; *** WHY REWRITE THE ORIGINAL PARSER? ***
;; Originally, the code interpreted a grammar using a recursive pattern
;; matcher, but XLISP does not have a huge stack and there were
;; stack overflow problems because even relatively small expressions
;; went through a very deep nesting of productions. E.g. 
;; "print note(between(30,odds(.5, 60, 90)))" 0 t nil))" was at recursion
;; level 46 when the stack overflowed. The stack depth is 2000 or 4000,
;; but all locals and parameters get pushed here, so since PARSE is the
;; recursive function and it has lots of parameters and locals, it appears
;; to use 80 elements in the stack per call.
;; *** END ***
;;
;; The grammar for the recursive descent parser:
;;   note: [ <x> ] means optional <x>, <x>* means 0 or more of <x>
;;
