#![warn(missing_docs)]
//! This file defines the expected behaviours of forests, and provides
//! a default implementation for forests.
//!
//! The default forest actually implements the so-called shared packed
//! parse forest, or SPPF.  It packs sub-trees with the same parents
//! under the same branch, and lets nodes from different branches
//! share the same children, and hence the name.
//!
//! What is special here is that the forests are marked with some
//! out-coming and in-coming plugs.  These plugs are used to join
//! different fragments of forests together.
