meta-language 0.47.0

A self-describing links-network core for lossless language representation
//! Meta-notation-derived textual surface syntax for grammar authoring.
//!
//! The public parser first runs the input through the existing links-network
//! parse boundary, then lowers the surface tokens into the grammar IR. The
//! `LiNo` helpers reuse the grammar links codec plus [`LinkNetwork::to_lino`] and
//! [`LinkNetwork::from_lino`], so there is still only one canonical network
//! serializer.
