Dynamic Method Handling

This class handles dynamic methods through the method_missing method

#method_missing(production_name, expansion, options = {}) ⇒ Object

Creates a new production for symbol with an expansion of expansion. The options hash can include a directive :prec, the value of which is a grammar symbol name. The precedence of the production is then set to the precedence of the grammar symbol corresponding to that name.

See the arithmetic precedence grammar in the test suites for an example.
