// The interface of LALRPOP-generated parsers, for each public rule. This trait is used as a facade
// to implement parser-independent features (such as error tolerance helpers), which don't have to
// be reimplemented for each and every parser. It's LALRPOP-specific and shouldn't be used outside
// of this module, if we don't want our implementation to be coupled to LALRPOP details.
//
// The type of `parse` was just copy-pasted from the generated code of LALRPOP.
//TODO: We could avoid having those pesky `'ast` lifetimes at the top-level of every trait using
//generic associated types, but it's not entirely trivial - to investigate.
