## Summary:

  This package implements Parsing Expression Grammars for Emacs Lisp.

  Parsing Expression Grammars (PEG) are a formalism in the spirit of
  Context Free Grammars (CFG) with some simplifications which makes
  the implementation of PEGs as recursive descent parsers particularly
  simple and easy to understand [Ford, Baker].
  PEGs are more expressive than regexps and potentially easier to use.

  This file implements the macros `define-peg-rule', `with-peg-rules', and
  `peg-parse' which parses the current buffer according to a PEG.
  E.g. we can match integers with:

      (with-peg-rules
	  ((number sign digit (* digit))
	   (sign   (or "+" "-" ""))
	   (digit  [0-9]))
	(peg-run (peg number)))
  or
      (define-peg-rule digit ()
	[0-9])
      (peg-parse (number sign digit (* digit))

## Recent NEWS:

- New PEX form (with RULES PEX...).
- Named rulesets.
- You can pass arguments to rules.
