//
//  Routines to parse grouping policies
//
// This uses a bunch of little functions to parse stuff.  Sue me.
//
// The parsers take an arglist and a chain argument, and return either a
// new pkg_grouppolicy_factory, or (if an error was encountered) NULL.
// (note: the chain argument will be NULL if the policy is the tail of a list)
//
// The astute observer will wonder why I don't just use bison or
// something similar.  The main reason is also the main reason I can't
// just do a straightforward parse: the matcher grammar.
// Unfortunately, it's hard to assemble grammars modularly in yacc,
// and I don't want to duplicate the matchers' grammar in several
// places; there's also the "minor" problem that the lexical analysis
// of matchers is radically different from the rest of the constructs.
//
// TODO: a lot of classes just exist to complain about having
// arguments and then creating a new instance of a policy0;
// commonalize this.
