Just to chime in, I have to agree on that - AFAIU the reason for wanting  
rid of yacc is because it limits the syntax, so I think it's important  
that the effort to find a replacement aim to (eventually) support  
everything that's currently supported. Otherwise, surely it's a case of  
better the devil you know...

(That said though, I've used ANTLR a little bit in Java and I'm certain  
that if anything can do it, ANTLR can).
