//! Generic Abstract Syntax Support Module
//!
//! Rustlr allows any type that implements the Default trait to be used as
//! the abstract syntax type (grammar directive absyntype). However, this
//! module defines custom smart pointers [LBox] and [LRc] that simplify the
//! construction of abstract syntax trees. LBox/LRc keep the line and column
//! numbers of each syntatic construct, as these are often
//! needed during later stages of code analysis post-parsing.
//!
//! For example, an abstract syntax type can be defined by
//!```text
//! enum Expr {
//! Val(i64),
//! PlusExpr(LBox<Expr>,LBox<Expr>),
//! ...
//! }
//!```
//!```text
//! fn check(e:&Expr) {
//! match e {
//! PlusExpr(a,b) => {
//! println!("checking expressions on lines {} and {}",a.line(),b.line());
//! check(a); check(b); // Deref coercion used here
//! },
//! ...
//!```
//! The [ZCParser::lbx] function can be called from the semantic actions
//! of a grammar
//! to create LBoxed-values that include line/column information. `LBox<T>`
//! implements the Default trait if T does, so an LBox type can also serve
//! as the absyntract syntax type for a grammar.
//! It is also possible to use `LBox<dyn Any>` as the abstract syntax type
//! along with the [LBox::upcast] and [LBox::downcast] functions and
//! convenience macros [lbup] and [lbdown].
//!
//! Sufficient functionality has also been implemented to allow the use of
//! `LBox<dyn Any>` as the abstract syntax type of Grammars.
//! This effectively allows grammar symbols to carray values of different types
//! as Any-trait objects. The functions [LBox::upcast], [LBox::downcast], [ZCParser::lba],
//! and the convenience macros [lbup], [lbdown] and [lbget]
//! are intended to support this usage. A simplified, sample grammar using
//! `LBox<dyn Any>` as the abstract syntax type returned by the parser is
//! found [here](https://cs.hofstra.edu/~cscccl/rustlr_project/simple.grammar),
//! which generates this LALR [parser](https://cs.hofstra.edu/~cscccl/rustlr_project/simpleparser.rs).
//!
//! Equivalent functions are available for [LRc].
