 ### Parser improvements (the Error Recovery Mode)
 
 The generated parsers now support an "error recovery" mode. In this mode the parser is **robust** against errors in the _input_. This is extremely useful for interactive editing situations, where sometimes a file is under development and we still want syntax-directed and semantics-directed features. Examples of downstream features that can work well with a recovered parse:
