It may be bug to be fixed.  It seems all call_op() calls with argument
shortage are rules for unary operator (`+', `-' and `~'), and adding 0
for last argument (like `$$ = call_op($2, tUPLUS, 0, 0);') is
work.... maybe :-P  matz?

# This is a bug in even K&R style because call_op() is defined as a

# effective to detect such type of errors....
