Though it is deprecated, the AnyType production from ITU X.208 will still be supported by this parser, but the AnyValue production will not.

Macros, as are defined in ITU X.208, will not be supported by this parser.

Whether used or not, parsers and grokers have been implemented for AnyType and AnyValue. As of now, nothing will be implemented to support macros.

ANY

AnyType is fully lexed, parsed, and groked. This parser has full backwards-compatible support for AnyType.

AnyValue, on the other hand, is not supported in parsing, but all of the code for groking it is already there, just deliberately unused. It is unused because it is of little value, yet, because of how AnyValue is defined, it would be very prone to introducing bugs into the parser if it were to be parsed.

Macros

Macros are entirely unsupported by the parser, but macro-related keywords are identified as such by the lexer.
