# Random Word Generator with simple rules (see datafiles); recursive;
# details on datafile format can be found in the English ruleset;
# by Robert Kosek, robert.kosek@thewickedflea.com.
#
# Based on the Perl version by Chris Pound (pound@rice.edu), which was
# based on Mark Rosenfelder's Pascal implementation.
#
# Improvements:
#  - Now parsed via a PEG parser, with greater flexibility such as
#    slashes within the regular expressions.
#  - Mutations via Regex! Now you can separate syllables with dashes
#    and then perform substitution on it.
#  - Optional sections can be wrapped in parenthesis!
#    CV(N)C => CVC || CVNC
#  - Nestable parenthesis, in case it becomes useful to someone.
#  - Generation of an infinite series of words
#  - Technical support for Unicode (touch not ye first line)
#  - Vertical compaction with tab-delimited list instead of new-lines
