+// less.js - parser
+//
+//    A relatively straight-forward predictive parser.
+//    There is no tokenization/lexing stage, the input is parsed
+//    in one sweep.
+//
+//    To make the parser fast enough to run in the browser, several
+//    optimization had to be made:
+//
+//    - Matching and slicing on a huge input is often cause of slowdowns.
+//      The solution is to chunkify the input into smaller strings.
+//      The chunks are stored in the `chunks` var,
+//      `j` holds the current chunk index, and `currentPos` holds
+//      the index of the current chunk in relation to `input`.
+//      This gives us an almost 4x speed-up.
+//
+//    - In many cases, we don't need to match individual tokens;
+//      for example, if a value doesn't hold any variables, operations
+//      or dynamic references, the parser can effectively 'skip' it,
+//      treating it as a literal.
+//      An example would be '1px solid #000' - which evaluates to itself,
+//      we don't need to know what the individual components are.
+//      The drawback, of course is that you don't get the benefits of
+//      syntax-checking on the CSS. This gives us a 50% speed-up in the parser,
+//      and a smaller speed-up in the code-gen.
+//
+//
+//    Token matching is done with the `$` function, which either takes
+//    a terminal string or regexp, or a non-terminal function to call.
+//    It also takes care of moving all the indices forwards.
+//
