+## ------------------------------------------------------- ##
+
+# This test case demonstrates that, when %nonassoc is used, canonical
+# LR(1) parser table construction followed by conflict resolution
+# without further state splitting is not always sufficient to produce a
+# parser that can detect all syntax errors as soon as possible on one
+# token of lookahead. However, LAC solves the problem completely even
+# with minimal LR parser tables.
