OK, I'll try to get to it later this week.

This confusion makes me wonder if %destructor really should be by type and 
if $<type>$ should dynamically record a new type for that state on the 
stack.  $<>$ would remove the type and thus the destructor.  $<type>n and 
$<>n would have no such effect because these semantic values are now in 
the user's hands.
