+//! This file implements the function to read a grammar from a string,
+//! in the [augmented Backus Naur
+//! form][https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Augmented_Backus–Naur_form].
+//! See [RFC5234][https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc5234] for its
+//! specifications.
+//!
+//! In fact, the rules of ABNF are considered to be too strict.  For
+//! example, only ASCII characters are allowed in the format, even
+//! within comments.  I think any character should be allowed within
+//! comments, so the implementation here does that.
