+# Bison used to accept character literals that were empty or contained
+# too many characters.
+
+# FIXME: $ECHO_N and $ECHO_C are not very portable according to the
+# Autoconf manual.  Switch to AS_ECHO_N when Autoconf 2.64 is released?
+# Even better, AT_DATA or some variant of AT_DATA may eventually permit
+# a trailing newline.  See the threads starting at
+# <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bison-patches/2009-07/msg00019.html>.
