   Using precedence parsing keeps the grammar, and so the parser smaller and   
   also easier to read. The size was much more important when memory was   
   measured in kilobytes, not in gigabytes. It also eliminates the empty   
   precedence transitions at runtime, though this is easy to do by reducing   
   the parse tree before creating the parser.   
      
   Languages are generally specified with a hierarchical grammar. This better   
   decouples the specification from the implementation.
