Before this commit, generated parser were able to start parsing from any
rule. This was nice, but it made rule code inlining impossible.
Since this commit, the list of allowed start rules has to be specified
explicitly using the |allowedStartRules| option of the |PEG.buildParser|
method (or the --allowed-start-rule option on the command-line). These
rules will be excluded from inlining when it's implemented.
While |process.openStdin| is not officially deprecated, it's no longer
documented and just using |process.stdin| and resuming it seems to be
the official way.
The previous default name was "exports.parser". This meant that to use
the generated parser in Node.js, you had to use code like this:
var parser = require("./my-cool-parser").parser;
parser.parse(...);
Now you can shorten it a bit:
var parser = require("./my-cool-parser");
parser.parse(...);
The shorter version makes sense since no other objects except the parser
are exported from the module.
Similar issue exists on Windows too (they have symlinks since Vista), but I
could not find how to dereference symlinks from batch files, so I did not fix
it. I guess this does not matter much given how little the symlinks are used in
the Windows world.
Closes#1.
