## SETUP PARSER

lookfor(['OP', '+']),
$parser),

lookfor(['OP', '*']),

## SETUP LEXER
my $input = sub { return @input.shift };
my $lexer = iterator_to_stream(
make_lexer($input,
## XXX - Change these back to regexes?

=head1 NAME
expr-parser.p6 - A simple expression parser from Mark Jason Dominus' "Higher
Order Perl"
=head1 DESCRIPTION
This is a perl6 translation of the expression parser from HOP. It is intended as
to be a straight translation i.e it takes advantage of function signatures but
doesn't change the code unnecessarily. I have changed the code in places, but
that was mostly for my own sanity, so feel free to revert to the original code,
which can be found here:
http://hop.perl.plover.com/Examples/
Its current state is that the lexer looks to be built fine but when it comes to
parsing the expression there are issues with the closures, which aren't too
obvious at this point, and the parsing fails. So some functional debugging
ninjas would probably do quite well at this. Introspection will definitely help.
