I am now envisioning some kind of grammar where you could say

A -(2)-> x y
B -(3)-> x y

and then, given a string "x y", the parser would say "this has a 40%
chance of being A and a 60% chance of being B".

(This wouldn't be useful as an *official* Lojban grammar, but some day
it might be useful as a way for a parser to tell a Lojban student,
"officially that means B, but a lot of people are likely to mistake that
for A; perhaps you should rephrase it?")
