# Note: Chicken'n'Egg here. The pt_pgen parser generator needs a PEG
#       parser to read the grammar definition from which to generate
#       a PEG parser.

# This problem was initially solved by using the grammar interpreter
# package pt::peg::interp together with a definition of the PEG
# grammar kept in the container package pt::peg::container::peg. That
# definition was created through manual conversion of the PE grammar.

# And we avoid getting back into the problem by writing the generated
# parser into a different file instead of overwriting the
# definition/package just used by the parser generator.

# The user has to, well, is asked to, review the results before
# replacing the working system with the newly-made code. And in case
# the user still ran into the problem, just go to the implementation
# of package pt::peg::from::peg and switch there from use of
# pt::parse::peg to the interpreter/container combination. The code
# for bootstrapping is still present, just commented out.
