 * The top-level API to the parser.  At this level, it is simply a
 * stream of commands (Expr's) terminated by an infinite sequence of
 * Null Expr.  It has a support to parse several different input
 * languages (as many as we care to implement), and may take a file
 * name, or an istream to read from (default: std::cin, or stdin).
 * Using iostream means no more worries about whether to close files
 * or not.
