%X * Parsers normally perform reductions and then call semantic action
routines.
  * Many of the semantic actions are easily represented as specialized
parse rules e.g., ``ident = expr'' has a semantic action that checks
the type.
  * Can also be represented as parsing ``int-ident = int-expr'',
``char-ident = char-expr'' and so on.
  * However (a) large # of rules and (b) some types aren't known until
runtime.
  * Add and delete grammar productions in a controlled way during
parsing e.g., ``int foo'' creates rules for ``ident-foo =
int-expr''.
