/*
 * This is a prototype of the grammar for PL/1, that's right,
 *
 * 		Personals Language / 1
 *
 * Suggestions for extensions will be given the consideration they
 * deserve, substantive contributions come first.
 *
 * This has been a public service of Zig's personal(!) crusade to
 * bring licence to holders of Unix licences and their user communities.
 * Once the language syntax becomes stable, an ANSI standard will be
 * applied for. That done, the parser will be cast in silicon along
 * with standard wrist-watch circuitry and circuitry for a low power
 * transmitter. Singles will then be able to wear if not their hearts
 * on their sleeves, then at least a device capable of transmitting their
 * heartfelt desires to compatible persons near them.
