Description

@noahmartinwilliams

It would be nice if happy were able to create a list of data structures that's read lazily, rather than having to read in all the tokens before returning any kind of result. Something like some kind of extra syntax that could be added to a rule to indicate that it can be generated lazily.

For example:

Structs : Struct { [$1] } | Struct Structs { $1 : $2 } 
Struct : foo bar number 

would be able to parse an infinite number of Structs even if all the tokens can't strictly fit into memory.
