Obfuscate the regexps to strip off the IBM compiler's copyright banners. I don't want bots scanning github to think they're real copyright notices because that could cause real problems.

David A. Holland
parents:

52 grammar. Usually you do not wish to distinguish between space
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial.
David A. Holland
parents:

75 Because different systems use different representations for end of
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial.
David A. Holland
parents:
diff changeset
76 line, it is wise to use an abstract end of line token in your grammar,
13d2b8934445 Import AnaGram (near-)release tree into Mercurial.
David A. Holland
parents:
diff changeset
77 and define the token separately. If your parser is going to use files
