You know, it would be possible to only create the structure for the push
parser mode, and to leave all variables declared in yyparse for normal
mode and for pure mode. This would be more m4 magic, but would fix the
performance problems.

I wrote it the way it is now because it was cleaner. I only had to do m4
magic for 'pv->yychar' vs 'yychar' for the 4 user visible variables
(instead of all the variables), because all 3 versions used the structure.

What do you think?
