I agree with you. I think yacc is a suckless tool, and I am sure we will have to use it for awk (we will have to implement it some day), but I also agree that in this case is too much. A recursive descendant parser for expr is pretty simple. I think we can take it, because it is better to have a version made by us. If we have time/interest in the future then we can change the yacc parser to a recursive one. Regards,
