I'm not an expert on Yacc/Bison; it's been 4 years, in fact, since I
last wrote a compiler.  These days I just write DSLs in Ruby. :-)

So I would like to ask Eric Mahurin (the author of ideas [1] and
[2]) to consider and comment on Nobu's patch (see link above): does
this patch reflect your ideas for resolving the "|" ambiguity?

Thanks for your consideration.
