--  Recursive descendant parser.
--  Each subprogram (should) parse one production rules.
--  Rules are written in a comment just before the subprogram.
--  terminals are written in upper case.
--  non-terminal are written in lower case.
--  syntaxic category of a non-terminal are written in upper case.
--  eg: next_statement ::= [ label : ] NEXT [ LOOP_label ] [ WHEN condition ] ;
--  Or (|) must be aligned by the previous or, or with the '=' character.
--  Indentation is 4.
--
--  To document what is expected for input and what is left as an output
--  concerning token stream, a precond and a postcond comment shoud be
--  added before the above rules.
--    a token (such as IF or ';') means the current token is this token.
--    'a token' means the current token was analysed.
--    'next token' means the current token is to be analysed.
