I remember the conversation about --no-parser and %no-parser.  That 
situation was a little different because there was almost no 
implementation remaining that we could salvage.

For %token-table, the implementation is still basically usable.  However, 
the documentation is incomplete and the feature might be a little broken, 
so the way forward needs more thought.
