+
+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
+rint{,-xml} counterpart. We would very much like to re-use the pretty format
+of states from .output for the graphs, etc.
+
+Also, the underscore in print_graph.[ch] isn't very fitting considering the
+dashes in the other filenames.
+
+Since graphviz dies on medium-to-big grammars, maybe consider an other tool?
+
+** push-parser
+Check it too when checking the different kinds of parsers. And be
+sure to check that the initial-action is performed once per parsing.
+
+** m4 names
+b4_shared_declarations is no longer what it is. Make it
+b4_parser_declaration for instance.
+
+** yychar in lalr1.cc
+There is a large difference bw maint and master on the handling of
+yychar (which was removed in lalr1.cc). See what needs to be
+back-ported.
+
+
+ /* User semantic actions sometimes alter yychar, and that requires
+ that yytoken be updated with the new translation. We take the
+ approach of translating immediately before every use of yytoken.
+ One alternative is translating here after every semantic action,
+ but that translation would be missed if the semantic action
+ invokes YYABORT, YYACCEPT, or YYERROR immediately after altering
+ yychar. In the case of YYABORT or YYACCEPT, an incorrect
+ destructor might then be invoked immediately. In the case of
+ YYERROR, subsequent parser actions might lead to an incorrect
+ destructor call or verbose syntax error message before the
+ lookahead is translated. */
+
+ /* Make sure we have latest lookahead translation. See comments at
+ user semantic actions for why this is necessary. */
+ yytoken = yytranslate_ (yychar);
+
+
+** stack.hh
+Get rid of it. The original idea is nice, but actually it makes
+the code harder to follow, and uselessly different from the other
+skeletons.
