That's exactly it.

That would be great!

Understood.  Custom lalr1.cc also, so locally relativizing the lalr1.cc
sub-includes, for example, would be totally fine if you prefer to keep
them explicit for the regular version.

Although in practice I would hope to converge my c++.m4 back to your standard;
in fact the only thing significant was discussed on the mailing list in April
and is now at https://github.com/akimd/bison/pull/85 for your comments.

And I'm similarly raising my other patches; hopefully there's a way to make
them consistent with your overall design, useful for everyone and reduce
my need for custom skeleton at all.

Many thanks!
