A processing class for deriving trees that represent possible
structures for a sequence of tokens. These tree structures are
known as "parses". Typically, parsers are used to derive syntax
trees for sentences. But parsers can also be used to derive other
kinds of tree structure, such as morphological trees and discourse
structures.
Subclasses must define:
- at least one of: ``parse()``, ``parse_sents()``.
Subclasses may define:
- ``grammar()``
