If the enumaration of table parameter values fails during the static
traversal phase, try again in the dynamic computation phase, when the values
of bound variables are known.
This is necessary to properly deal with generic table construction in opers,
like the ones found in prelude/Coordination.gf, e.g.
consTable : (P : PType) -> ... = \P ... -> {s1 = table P {...} ; ... }
DESCRIPTION
The Grammatical Framework (=GF) is a grammar formalism based on type theory.
It consists of
* a special-purpose programming language
* a compiler of the language
* a generic grammar processor
The compiler reads GF grammars from user-provided files, and the
generic grammar processor performs various tasks with the grammars:
* generation
* parsing
* translation
* type checking
* computation
* paraphrasing
* random generation
* syntax editing
GF particularly addresses four aspects of grammars:
* multilinguality (parallel grammars for different languages)
* semantics (semantic conditions of well-formedness, semantic
properties of expressions)
* grammar engineering (modularity, abstractions, libraries)
* embeddability in programs written in other languages (C,C++,
Haskell, Java, JavaScript)
