SLK now has an option that enables adding nondeterministic or
deterministic extra lookahead to any recursive descent parser. A
function call returns the production number to use or zero on error. So
where it is needed just switch on the production number instead of the
lookahead token. Nonterminals that do not need it are coded as usual.


short SlkGetProduction ( SlkToken &tokens,
                                                  short nonterminal,
                                                  short token );


short SlkGetPredictedProduction ( int display,
                                                                    SlkToken &tokens,
                                                                    short nonterminal,
                                                                    short token );


void SlkPrintProduction ( char *buffer,
                                                    int production_number );
