   How so? All we write are simple context free grammar rules.  These   
   rules may be collectively ambiguous.  But other than that, we don't   
   write anything else.  The GLR engine determines the branches by   
   looking at conflicts in the parsing tables.  They are pretty easy to   
   detect.
