 There are only two yychar that can be <= YYEOF: YYEMPTY and YYEOF.
 But I can't produce the situation where yychar is YYEMPTY here, is it

 We should find a means to provide an access to values deep in the

-       Currently Bison assumes 8-bit bytes (i.e. that UCHAR_MAX is
-       255).  It also assumes that the 8-bit character encoding is
