it's a matter of taste- it breaks existing lex scripts because it doesn't
work for this detail of POSIX lex (quoting man lex from Solaris, which is
close enough to illustrate):
lex will accept declarations in the Definitions in lex sec-
tion for setting certain internal table sizes. The declara-
tions are shown in the following table.
Table Size Declaration in lex
___________________________________________________________________
| Declaration Description Default |
| %pn Number of positions 2500 |
| %nn Number of states 500 |
| %a n Number of transitions 2000 |
| %en Number of parse tree nodes 1000 |
| %kn Number of packed character classes 10000 |
| %on Size of the output array 3000 |
