I figured I'd go back to the cut-up stuff, since I didn't have time to review the Earley parsing tutorials today.
For now, I'm going to revisit one of the assumptions I made that I'm not sure about. I was thinking it'd be nice to layer different chunking strategies on top of iterating the words in a string, but the more I thought about it, the more it seemed kind of arbitrary, in light of the possible chunking strategies. I'm right now wondering if it would make sense to collect characters into a queue. Then do a mix of append and popleft, maybe. Or have "words" as an iterator on top of the string, and then do non-word-based chunking strategies directly on the character stream?
I forget why I previously thought I didn't want to do this, so I think I should check my notes tomorrow. For now, I'm going to get ready for bed.
Good night.
