Ok, seems very interesting! I use C++ (currently C++17) in my daily job as a
developer and I always try to keep up with the latest of the standard.
I will familiarize myself first with push/pull parsers and then I will start
with it 😊 I will also take a look at TODO to check if there is already any
specification about how it should look like.
Regards,
Victor

There's 'make recheck' to rerun the failures, or `make check-local
TESTSUITEFLAGS='1 2 3'` just to run tests 1 2 and 3. See README-hacking.

Definitely my job! Happy to help!

Gee... Lemme think...
It really depends what you'd like to do. You reported you're fluent in C++.
Something quite interesting would be to enable push-parser in lalr1.cc. It's
more ambitious than the subcomplain task, but it will probably take you less
time, because it's more compact, it will impact much less code.
WDYT?
