The C++ skeletons and %destructor seemed to do okay this way, but I don't
know the full history there.
Yes, but I also think that we should not exaggerate.
Exaggerate what? That they did okay? Or the instability of our current
directives?
The instability.
If it wasn't for the language conventions, I would have kept the ".tab" even
in the Java output, as I don't like to depart too much from the traditional
Bison behavior.
My feeling is that the community has already departed... look at Bison's
own parse-gram.c and parse-gram.h.
Yes, but the community is still relying on Bison appending ".tab": if
Bison started removing ".tab" *on its own*, Automake would break.
