You might try the Usenet newsgroup comp.compilers, as this is a list for help
with Bison, and not so much about how to implement parsers.
But if you only want to check matching brackets, one method is to pick up the
whole section as a string and then check it there in some action. If you want
to more careful parsing, then writing a Bison grammar might be suitable.
Work with the innards of Bison may be fragile: no support for it, so it may
break in a later Bison version.
