Sorry, I discovered this recently too, see 
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bison-patches/2018-11/msg00042.html.  I 
don’t know whether that means I should release a 3.2.2.  WDYT?

Does that mean that you are a user of glr.cc?  I don’t much feedback about it, 
unfortunately.  Also, I’m looking for the opinion about a proposal for GLR 
parsers: see

https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bison-patches/2013-02/msg00105.html and
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bison-patches/2018-11/msg00008.html and 
following.

Cheers!
