AST means abstract syntax tree, this is something
quite different from the parse tree. The parser produces
a parse tree, but quite a bit more work is needed to
produce the AST, indeed the task of generating a parse
tree is a small amount of the effort in producing the
AST (depending on how much work is put into error detection
and recovery).
