; projections only; if a grammar makes use of the head-subject and
; head-complement types as provided by the Matrix, this should be a
; good starting point.  Note that it is legal to have multiple start
; symbols, but they all need to be listed as the value of
; `*start-symbol' (see `lkb/user-fns.lsp').
