libjay 0.2.1

//! J frontend: lexer and the sentence parser, lowering to the shared IR.
//!
//! Word formation and sentence parsing follow the model published in the J
//! Dictionary. Words are formed left to right; a sentence is then executed
//! right to left by pushing words onto a stack and matching the leftmost four
//! stack slots against the parse table after every push.
