I'd thought about this, but it would require changes to Bison itself
(for a rather special feature, only for only target language, which
can be done in the skeletons), and the user grammar files would also
look differently, whereas with my way, they generally look just like
they would with shared pointers, or in C, Java, etc., i.e.
"$$ = make_foo ($1, $2)".

Also "$$k" would look rather similar to "$$" (probably not strictly
a conflict, but maybe confusing).
