Rule alternative descriptor. This describes one alternative in a grammar production. An alternative is one complete list of matchable tokens.
In a 'grammar' statement, alternatives are delimited by '|' symbols at the top level. Each group of tokens set off by '|' symbols is one alternative.
When '|' symbols are grouped with parentheses in a 'grammar' statement, the compiler "flattens" the grouping by expanding out the parenthesized groups until it has entirely top-level alternatives. So, at the level of a GrammarProd object, there's no such thing as parentheses or nested '|' symbols.

Properties
gramBadness | gramprod.t[66] |
The 'badness' value associated with the alternative. A value of zero means that there's no badness.
gramMatchObj | gramprod.t[73] |
the "match object" class - this is the class that GrammarProd.parseTokens() instantiates to represent a match to this alternative in the match list that the method returns
gramTokens | gramprod.t[80] |
The token descriptor list. This is a list of zero or more GrammarAltTokInfo objects describing the tokens making up this rule.
Methods
construct (score, badness, matchObj, toks, ...) | gramprod.t[54] |
Constructor. GrammarProd.getGrammarInfo() calls this once for each alternative making up the production, passing in the values that define the alternative. Note that we have a '...' in our argument list so that we'll be compatible with any future GrammarProd versions that add additional arguments - we won't do anything with the extra arguments, but we'll harmlessly ignore them, so code compiled with this library version will continue to work correctly.
