DFA
A DFA implemented as a set of transition tables.
Which recognizer encloses this DFA? Needed to check backtracking
public DFA()
Given a String that has a run-length-encoding of some unsigned shorts
like "\1\2\3\9", convert to short[] {2,9,9,9}. We do this to avoid
static short[] which generates so much init code that the class won't
compile. :(
Hideous duplication of code, but I need different typed arrays out :(
A hook for debugging interface
From the input stream, predict what alternative will succeed
using this DFA (representing the covering regular approximation
to the underlying CFL). Return an alternative number 1..n. Throw
an exception upon error.
