   Construct analysis never has to be done by the parser, it can always   
   be deferred to a later stage.  Feedback to the parser simply allows   
   early exclusion of impossible alternatives.

   It can make the parser simpler - or not, depending on how you choose   
   to construct the IR - but adds a disambiguation step afterward which   
   must rewrite the generic IR into a specific one.
