Read up on kernel items and non-kernel items. All kernel items must
match to use the same state/closure, otherwise a new state must be
created even if one of the kernel item (rule) exists in another state.


closure 8 is produced from advancing the dot over E from closure 4.

Advance the dots and you get...
  > 8:
  > (4,3) F->'(',E,.')';
  > ? E->E,.'+',T;


There are 2 rules that have a dot before E, so they must both be
included as kernel items in the new closure (8 in this case).


Closure 9 is the same thing as above, but taken from closure 6.


BTW, I have no idea what you meant by your last statement. All I know
is that a goto rule ALWAYS comes after reduction (when actually
parsing). Your goto table is strange to me. The goto's with tokens
{+,id,(,) etc} should be in the action table (and are called shift
actions), not the goto table although it may be considered a moot point
to differenciate them as they both lead to a new state. However,
reductions can only appear with tokens. Perhaps it's been too long
since I've done SLR... dunno.
