Again, I'm using it with success.  I do agree it needs to be polished,
but to do that, we need to meet other users, such as you.  So I
perfectly understand your point wrt. the urgent need for an answer
_now_.  But I'm really referring to something else: would you accept
trying the CVS Bison and report to us the problems you face?

That's true :)

I'm for providing a degraded bison.simple for C++ users.  Is that OK,
or in addition you'd want the regular bison.simple to be OK with C++?
