In discussing LR-Regular parsing, Grune [1] gives an algorithm for computing
the CFG of LR(0) item right contexts. I wondered if LALR(1) look-ahead sets
are just the FIRST of the item right context grammar?


1. @book{Grune:1990:PTP:130365,

  title = {Parsing Techniques: A Practical Guide},
  year = {1990},

}
