#  Reverse rules.
#     For now, use the old style inexact reverse rules, which are easier

#     TODO:  exact reverse rules.  It appears that exact reverse rules
#            may require improving support for look-ahead breaks in the
#            builder.  Needs more investigation.

# Explanation for this rule:
#
#    It needs to back over
#        The $Sep at which we probably begin
#        All of the non $Sep chars leading to the preceding $Sep
#        The preceding $Sep, which will be the second one that the rule matches.
#        Any immediately preceding STerm or ATerm sequences.  We need to see these
#              to get the correct rule status when moving forwards again.
#        
# [{bof}]           inhibit rule chaining.  Without this, rule would loop on itself and match
#                   the entire string.
#
# (.? | $LF $CR)    Match one $Sep instance.  Use .? rather than $Sep because position might be
#                   at the beginning of the string at this point, and we don't want to fail.
#                   Can only use {eof} once, and it is used later.
