** Graphviz display code thoughts
The code for the --graph option is over two files: print_graph, and
-graphviz. I believe this is because Bison used to also produce VCG graphs,
-but since this is no longer true, maybe we could consider these files for
-fusion.
-
-Little effort factoring seems to have been given to factoring in these files,
-and their print-xml and print counterpart. We would very much like to re-use
-the pretty format of states from .output in the .dot
-
-Also, the underscore in print_graph.[ch] isn't very fitting considering
-the dashes in the other filenames.
+graphviz. This is because Bison used to also produce VCG graphs, but since
+this is no longer true, maybe we could consider these files for fusion.
+
+An other consideration worth noting is that print_graph.c (correct me if I
+am wrong) should contain generic functions, whereas graphviz.c and other
+potential files should contain just the specific code for that output
+format. It will probably prove difficult to tell if the implementation is
+actually generic whilst only having support for a single format, but it
+would be nice to keep stuff a bit tidier: right now, the construction of the
+bitset used to show reductions is in the graphviz-specific code, and on the
+opposite side we have some use of \l, which is graphviz-specific, in what
+should be generic code.

+Little effort seems to have been given to factoring these files and their

+
+Since graphviz dies on medium-to-big grammars, maybe consider an other tool?
