What does a list get transformed to when it's in a DCG context? I've seen
a few examples and just don't understand it.

On an unrelated topic, is the focus of moose creating parsers that are not
easy to express in Mercury, or creating parsers that are more efficient
than the equivalent code in Mercury, or something else entirely?
