classes inside functions?!

[kellywilson at nowhere.com]

Hey guys,

My parser (based on 0.149) allows the first example and rejects the second. Thus
the grammar that I have seems to confirm what Sean has said, as well.

If anyone wants a copy of the pre-release (based on the Elkhound GLR parser
generator) then just email me at:

wilsonk-at-cpsc-dot-ucalgary-dot-ca

Thanks,
Kelly Wilson

P.S. Ivan (or BCS), if you want an update then please email (I have fixed about
7 or 8 problems from the original...though there are still some minor things to
clean up).
