As the WP-article mentions under pitfalls, the change from left- to right-
recursion changes the parse tree, which needs to be dealt with.


I am writing a "toy" LL(1) tool in Javascript/Nodejs, and I have found a
method which I think is quite "clever".


Expr: Term | Expr AddOp Term.
AddOp: "+" | "-".


becomes


Expr: Term Exprtailety '{ $$=$2($1) }'.
Exprtailety: '{ $$=(x)=>(x) }'
| AddOp Term Exprtailety '{ $$=(x)=>($3([$1, x, $2]) }'.
AddOp: "+" '{ $$=$1 }' | "-" '{ $$=$1 }'.


(I have a naming convention I find useful, with "tail" in the name to
denote such tailing productions, and also all nullables end in "ety" as
they may produce "empty".)


Using "Yacc-like" actions, I simply pass a chain of functions up through
the parse, which get called from the Sum rule and constructs a parse tree
turned the right way (that is: the left way.)
