Yeah- I tend to think of the whole vague collection of LR + shunting yard + Pratt as one single approach in my head, with the same capabilities in terms of parsing. Sometimes working through a particular problem, or conflict, or example is easier from one than the others, but knowing how they correspond (which is similar to how iteration and recursion correspond) means you can translate those ideas across.
