The editor needs to keep track of both the raw term and the nice term returned by exprToAPI. (Manually constructed linearization rules will now have the raw term and can not be tested.) Also replace metavariables in generalized terms with the apropriate parameter from the linearization rule. Also fix communication problems caused by inconsistent use of show/read vs showExpr/readExpr.
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)
