  # Extends the treetop-provided grammar parser with a .ast class method for simple parsing and building of
  # an AST defined by TireSwing. Takes the grammar module as an argument.
  #
  # Additionally, this defines a #node method on the grammar to delegate to the class or the AST to create
  # new nodes, e.g. <node(:variable)> instead of <AST.create_node(:variable)>
  #
  # You can specify an alternate module which contains the AST if desired.
