* Short term
+** 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.

** Variable names.
What should we name `variant' and `lex_symbol'?
The code bw glr.c and yacc.c is really alike, we can certainly factor
some parts.
-* Header guards
-
-From François: should we keep the directory part in the CPP guard?
-
-
-* Yacc.c: CPP Macros
-
-Do some people use YYPURE, YYLSP_NEEDED like we do in the test suite?
-They should not: it is not documented. But if they need to, let's
-find something clean (not like YYLSP_NEEDED...).
-
-
-* Documentation
-Before releasing, make sure the documentation ("Understanding your
-parser") refers to the current `output' format.
* Report
Some history of Bison and some bibliography would be most welcome.
Are there any Texinfo standards for bibliography?
-** %printer
-Wow, %printer is not documented. Clearly mark YYPRINT as obsolete.
-
-* Java, Fortran, etc.
-
-
* Coding system independence
Paul notes:
** Skeleton strategy
Must we keep %token-table?
-* BTYacc
-See if we can integrate backtracking in Bison. Charles-Henri de
-Boysson <de-boy_c@epita.fr> has been working on this, but never gave
-the results.
-
-Vadim Maslow, the maintainer of BTYacc was once contacted. Adjusting
-the Bison grammar parser will be needed to support some extra BTYacc
-features. This is less urgent.
-
-** Keeping the conflicted actions
-First, analyze the differences between byacc and btyacc (I'm referring
-to the executables). Find where the conflicts are preserved.
-
-** Compare with the GLR tables
-See how isomorphic the way BTYacc and the way the GLR adjustments in
-Bison are compatible. *As much as possible* one should try to use the
-same implementation in the Bison executables. I insist: it should be
-very feasible to use the very same conflict tables.
-
-** Adjust the skeletons
-Import the skeletons for C and C++.
-
-
* Precedence
** Partial order
