# for background

# takes a tokenizer and elements
# tokenizer is an iterator that returns type, value pairs
# elements is a mapping of types to binding strength, prefix and infix actions
# an action is a tree node name, a tree label, and an optional match
# __call__(program) parses program into a labelled tree
