GLR is like LR parser that doesn't signal na error when ambiguity is
found, but explores all alternatives.


Naive GLR parser will return all possible interpretations; more
sophisticated one might ignore some alternatives if progammer provide
some hints.


Some LR parser (yacc and GNU Bison, for example) also can resolve
ambiguities when programmers tells how to do it.
