If there's a bug, please report it, or remind us about it.  But let's
not waste time talking about "official support".  We're talking about
volunteers here!  There is no office.  There is no officer.  There is
nothing "official".

Sorry, I haven't a clue what you're talking about.

That being said, the yacc.c parser is not supposed to be a nice C++
environment.  Being compatible with C++ does not mean supporting
namespaces, etc.; all it means is that the parser builds and you can
run the resulting code, so long as you know its limitations.
