///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
//
//  symbols class
//
//      This class implements a symbol table. The symbol table holds a
//      dictionary of symbols where each symbol is a sequence of CharTs.
//      The template class can work efficiently with 8, 16 and 32 bit
//      characters. Mutable data of type T is associated with each
//      symbol.
//
//      The class is a parser. The parse member function returns
//      additional information in the symbol_match class (see below).
//      The additional data is a pointer to some data associated with
//      the matching symbol.
//
//      The actual set implementation is supplied by the SetT template
//      parameter. By default, this uses the tst class (see tst.ipp).
//
//      Symbols are added into the symbol table statically using the
//      construct:
//
//          sym = a, b, c, d ...;
//
//      where sym is a symbol table and a..d are strings. Example:
//
//          sym = "pineapple", "orange", "banana", "apple";
//
//      Alternatively, symbols may be added dynamically through the
//      member functor 'add' (see symbol_inserter below). The member
//      functor 'add' may be attached to a parser as a semantic action
//      taking in a begin/end pair:
//
//          p[sym.add]
//
//      where p is a parser (and sym is a symbol table). On success,
//      the matching portion of the input is added to the symbol table.
//
//      'add' may also be used to directly initialize data. Examples:
//
//          sym.add("hello", 1)("crazy", 2)("world", 3);

//  Symbol table utilities
//
//  add
//
//      adds a symbol 'sym' (string) to a symbol table 'table' plus an
//      optional data 'data' associated with the symbol. Returns a pointer to
//      the data associated with the symbol or NULL if add failed (e.g. when
//      the symbol is already added before).
//
//  find
//
//      finds a symbol 'sym' (string) from a symbol table 'table'. Returns a
//      pointer to the data associated with the symbol or NULL if not found
//

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
//
//  symbol_inserter class
//
//      The symbols class holds an instance of this class named 'add'.
//      This can be called directly just like a member function,
//      passing in a first/last iterator and optional data:
//
//          sym.add(first, last, data);
//
//      Or, passing in a C string and optional data:
//
//          sym.add(c_string, data);
//
//      where sym is a symbol table. The 'data' argument is optional.
//      This may also be used as a semantic action since it conforms
//      to the action interface (see action.hpp):
//
//          p[sym.add]
