The R version of dparser is meant to be used as a package library
where you link the C parser to an arbitrary grammer parsed in R.  This
is what is used in `rxode2()`

### Differences between the R dparser port and the C-version of dparser

There are a few differences between the R dparser port and the standard dparser:

- The R version uses R memory managment instead of C's memory managment i.e. `malloc`

- The R version is never called from the command line, so all command line interface is removed `arg.c`

- The R version doesn't exit from the command (killing R), but errors out in R.

- All outputs are using R's output interface instead of printing to `stdout`, or `stderr`.

- Some convience functions are added to translate (and maybe parse) grammers within R.

- There is currently some fixes for un-sanitized behaviors that are not in the upstream dparser

- Currently there isn't an interface to use binary grammars
