You will spend a lot more time doing the development with skeleton files on
different languages.

When I see it or the specs.

I recall that you said that your C++ programs already have been broken,
which clearly happened because you have not developed a proper C++ skeleton
file.

Clearly, I have already done what I need.

All needed is a fix so that your own C++ programs work. :-)

I think the problem is that your focus is on developing Bison version
1.31.0000001. :-)

Well, try to run your broken C++ programs then. Drop a note on this list
when you have had some success. :-)
