+   For us, a terminal is a positive integer, and a non-terminal is a
+   negative integer.  Since the signs of these two types is fixed, we
+   represent them as unsigned integers.  Since we want to deal with
+   unicode points, the terminal is stored as unsigned long, so that we
+   can include all unicode poitns. */
