 * parser.c
 *		Main entry point/driver for PostgreSQL grammar
 *
 * Note that the grammar is not allowed to perform any table access
 * (since we need to be able to do basic parsing even while inside an
 * aborted transaction).  Therefore, the data structures returned by
 * the grammar are "raw" parsetrees that still need to be analyzed by
 * analyze.c and related files.

 * lookahead by combining tokens here, in order to keep the grammar LALR(1).
 *
 * Using a filter is simpler than trying to recognize multiword tokens
 * directly in scan.l, because we'd have to allow for comments between the

 * scanner backtrack, which would cost more performance than this filter
