About the release of the built-in parser.

[Shigio YAMAGUCHI]

Hi Iwamoto san,
Please let me hear your opinion.

1. Default mode
===============

Currently built-in parser is effective only when the configuration variable
"use_builtin_parser" is defined.  Is there a reason why do not make this
mode default?

How about releasing like follwos?

                        include built-in parser? enable built-in parser by 
default?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GLOBAL-5.8              Yes                       No
GLOBAL-5.8.?            Yes                       Yes

When built-in parser becomes default, configuration variable 
"use_external_parser" 
will be needed.
How about saying this plan on the release note of GLOBAL-5.8?

2. Incompatibility
==================

I will write a note about the incompatibility of the built-in parser like 
follows:

[INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES]
o gtags(built-in parser): In the existing parser (gtags-parser), some symbols
  were stored in both GRTAGS and GSYMS. In the built-in parser, all the symbols
  defined in GTAGS have been moved from GSYMS to GRTAGS. New specification
  is more consistent, and useful for efficiency improvement. If you feel this
  a problem, please inform bug mailing list of your insistence.

Is it right?
What do you think?
