I received your suggestion of a full debug mode explaining what rules where
activated and wich did not.

Roman recently templated the parse tree to allow multiple outputs and we
didn't update the docs, sorry. That makes Pegged output something other
than `Output`. One consequence is hat semantic actions should be templates
to function on different kinds of parse trees.
Try:
> void buildGraph(O)(O o) {
> void parseToGraph(ParseTree p) {
> writeln(p.ruleName);
> }
>
> parseToGraph(o.parseTree);
> }

What do parseToGraph and buildGraph do?

pegged.grammar.PEGGED!(ParseTree).PEGGED.parse(ParseLevel pl =
ParseLevel.parsing) parse(ParseLevel pl = ParseLevel.parsing) matches more
than one template declaration,
/home/wouter/code/d/Pegged/pegged/grammar.d(111):parse(ParseLevel pl =
ParseLevel.parsing) and
/home/wouter/code/d/Pegged/pegged/grammar.d(126):parse(ParseLevel pl =
ParseLevel.parsing)

I find it strange that I don't get that error with DMD.
