 Bison is upward compatible with Yacc: all properly-written Yacc grammars
 ought to work with Bison with no change.  Anyone familiar with Yacc
 should be able to use Bison with little trouble.  You need to be fluent in

 We begin with tutorial chapters that explain the basic concepts of using
 Bison and show three explained examples, each building on the last.  If you
