Bison has defaults that enables it to always generate a parser: shift  
over reduce, and in reduce/reduce conflicts, using the first rule  
listed in the '.y' grammar. Some use %expect to suppress warnings.  
Whether this terrible or not, depends on if it generates the right  
parsing or not. If you positively do not know that the Bison defaults  
are the right thing, do not use it. The use of precedence rules is  
certainly more explicit.
