I wouldn't really classify it as a 'need' but last release in the Bison 1.x series was 3 years ago. It would be 'nice' to work with reasonably modern tools. I've decided that I don't like accepting '(parse|syntax)' in the error string as that could end up forcing end-user tests to accept both as well. Lets either require Bison >= 1.75c or explicitly declare the error messages. Cheers, -J --
