      I've heard the buzz-phrase "attribute grammar" before, but I've never
heard a good description/definition of the concept. What is an attribute
grammar, how does it differ structurally from other kinds of grammars,
and what benefit does it provide in specifying either the syntax or
semantics of a language, or in developing language-oriented systems (like
compilers)?
