-Wait! You said this is pure V but I see a Python file?
-------------------------------------------------------
-
-The python file ``generate-grammar.py`` is used to convert the BNF grammar into
-V code that makes up the parser. The result file ``grammar.v`` is committed so
-there is no need to use python to compile and otherwise work on vsql unless you
-need to change the grammar. However, if you would like to covert this script to
-V, I'd be happy to have your help!
-
 Why is there no `NOW()` function?
