    Instead of detecting EOF using the input layer, I'm going to
    use the parser instead.  In either case, we always have to read
    ahead in order to complete the parsing of the previous node.
    Therefore we always know whether there is more to come, except
    in the case where we see a newline/semicolon or similar.

    For the purposes of sh -c, this should be sufficient.
