2023-01-11Record left-linear expansion and forest formatJSDurand
Now the grammar will record the left-linear expansions when generating the nondeterministic finite automaton frmo its rules, and will record whether an edge in the nondeterministic finite automaton comes from a left-linear expansion. The latter is needed because while performing a chain-rule derivation, we do not need the left-linear expanded derivations in the "first layer". This might well have been the root cause of the bad performance of the previous version of this package. Also I have figured out how to properly generate and handle parse forests while manipulating the "chain-rule machine".
