;;; Declaration specifiers.
;;;
;;; This stuff is distressingly complicated.
;;;
;;; Parsing a (single) declaration specifier is quite easy, and a declaration
;;; is just a sequence of these things.  Except that there are a stack of
;;; rules about which ones are allowed to go together, and the language
;;; doesn't require them to appear in any particular order.
;;;
;;; A collection of declaration specifiers is carried about in a purpose-made
;;; object with a number of handy operations defined on it, and then I build
;;; some parsers in terms of them.  The basic strategy is to parse
;;; declaration specifiers while they're valid, and keep track of what we've
;;; read.  When I've reached the end, we'll convert what we've got into a
;;; `canonical form', and then convert that into a C type object of the
;;; appropriate kind.  The whole business is rather more complicated than it
;;; really ought to be.

;; Firstly, a table of interesting things about the various declaration
;; specifiers that I might encounter.  I categorize declaration specifiers
;; into four kinds.
;;
;;   * `Type specifiers' describe the actual type, whether that's integer,
;;     character, floating point, or some tagged or user-named type.
;;
;;   * `Size specifiers' distinguish different sizes of the same basic type.
;;	 This is how we tell the difference between `int' and `long'.
;;
;;   * `Sign specifiers' distinguish different signednesses.  This is how we
;;     tell the difference between `int' and `unsigned'.
;;
;;   * `Qualifiers' are our old friends `const', `restrict' and `volatile'.
;;
;; These groupings are for my benefit here, in determining whether a
;; particular declaration specifier is valid in the current context.  I don't
;; accept `function specifiers' (of which the only current example is
;; `inline') since it's meaningless to me.

(defclass declspec ()
  ;; Despite the fact that it looks pretty trivial, this can't be done with
  ;; `defstruct' for the simple reason that we add more methods to the

;;; is something like mumble of op of foo.  Unfortunately, the expression
;;; parser engine wants to apply op of mumble of foo, so I'll have to do some
;;; work to fix the impedance mismatch.
;;;
;;; The currency we'll use is a pair (FUNC . NAME), with the semantics that

;;; `parse-declarator' will be of this form.

   The SCANNER is a token scanner to read from.  The BASE-TYPE is the type

   `parse-c-type'.

   The result contains both the resulting constructed C-TYPE (with any
   qualifiers etc. as necessary), and the name from the middle of the
   declarator.  The name is parsed using the KERNEL parser provided, and
   defaults to matching a simple identifier `:id'.  This might, e.g., be
