+// 1. The parser function xpathParse() that takes a string and returns

+//
+// 2. The expression object that has an evaluate() method to evaluate the
+// XPath expression it represents. (It is actually a hierarchy of
+// objects that resembles the parse tree, but an application will call
+// evaluate() only on the top node of this hierarchy.)
+//
+// 3. The context object that is passed as an argument to the evaluate()
+// method, which represents the DOM context in which the expression is
+// evaluated.
+//
+// 4. The value object that is returned from evaluate() and represents
+// values of the different types that are defined by XPath (number,
+// string, boolean, and node-set), and allows to convert between them.
+//
+// These parts are near the top of the file, the functions and data

+The idea here
+is that we want to take a stack of tokens and apply
+grammatical rules to them, "reducing" them to higher-level
+tokens.  Ultimately, any valid XPath should reduce to exactly one
+"Expr" token.
+
+Reduce too early or too late and you'll have two tokens that can't reduce
+to single Expr.  For example, you may hastily reduce a qname that
+should name a function, incorrectly treating it as a tag name.
+Or you may reduce too late, accidentally reducing the last part of the
+XPath into a top-level "Expr" that won't reduce with earlier parts of
+the XPath.
+
+A "cand" is a grammatical rule candidate, with a given precedence
+number.  "ahead" is the upcoming token, which also has a precedence
+number.  If the token has a higher precedence number than
+the rule candidate, we'll "shift" the token onto the token stack,
+instead of immediately applying the rule candidate.
+
+Some tokens have left associativity, in which case we shift when they
+have LOWER precedence than the candidate.

+// XPath expression evaluation context. An XPath context consists of a

+// that represents the position of the single node in the list, and a
+// current set of variable bindings. (See XPath spec.)
+//
+// The interface of the expression context:
+//
+//   Constructor -- gets the node, its position, the node set it
+//   belongs to, and a parent context as arguments. The parent context
+//   is used to implement scoping rules for variables: if a variable
+//   is not found in the current context, it is looked for in the
+//   parent context, recursively. Except for node, all arguments have
+//   default values: default position is 0, default node set is the
+//   set that contains only the node, and the default parent is null.
+//
+//     Notice that position starts at 0 at the outside interface;
+//     inside XPath expressions this shows up as position()=1.
+//
+//   clone() -- creates a new context with the current context as
+//   parent. If passed as argument to clone(), the new context has a
+//   different node, position, or node set. What is not passed is
+//   inherited from the cloned context.
+//
+//   setVariable(name, expr) -- binds given XPath expression to the
+//   name.
+//
+//   getVariable(name) -- what the name says.
+//
+//   setNode(position) -- sets the context to the node at the given
+//   position. Needed to implement scoping rules for variables in
+//   XPath. (A variable is visible to all subsequent siblings, not
+//   only to its children.)
+//
+//   set/isCaseInsensitive -- specifies whether node name tests should
+//   be case sensitive.  If you're executing xpaths against a regular
+//   HTML DOM, you probably don't want case-sensitivity, because
+//   browsers tend to disagree about whether elements & attributes
+//   should be upper/lower case.  If you're running xpaths in an
+//   XSLT instance, you probably DO want case sensitivity, as per the
+//   XSL spec.
+//
+//   set/isReturnOnFirstMatch -- whether XPath evaluation should quit as soon
+//   as a result is found. This is an optimization that might make sense if you
+//   only care about the first result.
+//
+//   set/isIgnoreNonElementNodesForNTA -- whether to ignore non-element nodes
+//   when evaluating the "node()" any node test. While technically this is
+//   contrary to the XPath spec, practically it can enhance performance
