Compute the empty relation first.
empty(x) if x->
or x->y[1],...,y[n] and empty(y[i])
This can be done by iterating until there are no changes
or if you have an inverted production list(used by)
you can add potentially affected productions to a todo list
until the todo list becomes empty.


Then first and last and next are easy and local.
