"""
Data classes and parser implementations for "chart parsers", which
use dynamic programming to efficiently parse a text. A chart
parser derives parse trees for a text by iteratively adding "edges"
to a "chart." Each edge represents a hypothesis about the tree
structure for a subsequence of the text. The chart is a
"blackboard" for composing and combining these hypotheses.
When a chart parser begins parsing a text, it creates a new (empty)
chart, spanning the text. It then incrementally adds new edges to the
chart. A set of "chart rules" specifies the conditions under which
new edges should be added to the chart. Once the chart reaches a
stage where none of the chart rules adds any new edges, parsing is
complete.
Charts are encoded with the ``Chart`` class, and edges are encoded with
the ``TreeEdge`` and ``LeafEdge`` classes. The chart parser module
defines three chart parsers:
- ``ChartParser`` is a simple and flexible chart parser. Given a
set of chart rules, it will apply those rules to the chart until
no more edges are added.
- ``SteppingChartParser`` is a subclass of ``ChartParser`` that can
be used to step through the parsing process.

class EdgeI:
"""
A hypothesis about the structure of part of a sentence.
Each edge records the fact that a structure is (partially)
consistent with the sentence. An edge contains:
- A span, indicating what part of the sentence is
consistent with the hypothesized structure.
- A left-hand side, specifying what kind of structure is
hypothesized.
- A right-hand side, specifying the contents of the
hypothesized structure.
- A dot position, indicating how much of the hypothesized
structure is consistent with the sentence.
Every edge is either complete or incomplete:
- An edge is complete if its structure is fully consistent
with the sentence.
- An edge is incomplete if its structure is partially
consistent with the sentence. For every incomplete edge, the
span specifies a possible prefix for the edge's structure.
There are two kinds of edge:
- A ``TreeEdge`` records which trees have been found to
be (partially) consistent with the text.
- A ``LeafEdge`` records the tokens occurring in the text.
The ``EdgeI`` interface provides a common interface to both types
of edge, allowing chart parsers to treat them in a uniform manner.
