I should probably clarify this. `All or nothing Yacc support' does not and would not accurately describe Bison's behavior. That is, Bison lets you do many non-Yacc things (such as %glr-parser) when you specify --yacc. I don't mean to express any opinions on that behavior. I simply mean to agree that we should not feel obligated to support fine-grained selection of Yacc features (specifically, --yacc suboptions) where it would produce more work for us and where it's probably not needed anyway.
