+ * The following functions are combinators for building Rules.
+ *
+ * A rule is one of the following
+ * - A String which matches the string literally.
+ * - A Symbol which matches the symbol's definition.
+ * - A list of rules with an optional reducing function, which matches a sequence.
+ * - The result of calling one of the combinators.
+ *
+ * Some rules are 'value-generating' rules, they return an 'abstract syntax
+ * tree' with the match.  If a rule is not value-generating [:null:] is the
+ * value.
+ *
+ * A Symbol is always a value-generating rule. If the value is not required, use
+ * [:SKIP(aSymbol):] in place of [:aSymbol:].
+ *
+ * A String is not a value-generating rule but can be converted into one by
+ * using [:TEXT('string'):] in place of [:'string':].
+ *
+ * A list or sequence is value-generating depending on the subrules.  The
+ * sequence is value-generating if any of the subrules are value-generating or
+ * if there is a reducing function.  If no reducing function is given, the value
+ * returned depends on the number of value-generating subrules.  If there is
+ * only one value generating subrule, that provideds the value for the sequence.
+ * If there are more, then the value is a list of the values of the
+ * value-generating subrules.
