This changes lots of stuff, let me know if it broke anything. Comments: - We use a local hacked version of GetOpt that allows long forms of commands to start with a single dash. This breaks other parts of GetOpt. For example, arguments to short options now require a =, and does not allo pace after the option character. - The new command parsing is currently only used for the program command line, pragmas and the arguments for the 'i' shell command. - I made a quick hack for the options for showTerm, which currently makes it impossible to use the print style flags for cc. This will be replaced by a facility for parsing command-specific options. - The verbosity handling is broken in some places. I will fix that in a later patch.
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)
