That's OK, and indeed expected; people using other programming
languages will expect to have to write skeletons in those languages,
and not in C.
Anyway, I was more worried about Bison users (i.e., ordinary
programmers trying to follow what a parser is doing by reading
skeletons and/or debugging the generated code) than about the
relatively few experts who are writing skeletons.

It's a minor one, I admit.
