Subject: Did using Yacc in the Ruby parser require a lot of messy hacking?

I'm assuming that the grammar of Ruby does not follow the LALR grammar
rules that Yacc assumes? Can anyone give a plain english definition of
what LALR actually means? Or context free?
Or does the grammar of Ruby fit quite nicely with the Lex/Yacc
toolset?
