Has anyone come across such a thing as a pure language grammar? What I
mean by pure is a language grammar that has not been "re-jigged" to
make parsing easier (e.g. LL(1)).


It strikes me that such a form would be more useful as a basis for
designing a clean and regular AST. Otherwise it seems that your design
may be bastardized to overcome limitations of parsing tools.


I'd be interested if anyone has heard of such a thing and
*particularly* if an example exists somewhere.


Thanks, Russ
