 * Short term
-** scan-code.l
-Avoid variables for format strings, as then GCC cannot check them.
-show_sub_messages should call show_sub_message.
+** 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.
+
+** 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);
+
+
+** $ and others in epilogue
+A stray $ is a warning in the actions, but an error in the epilogue.
+IMHO, it should not even be a warning in the epilogue.
+
+** 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.
 
 ** Variable names.
 What should we name `variant' and `lex_symbol'?
