+Summary: parse grammer has conflicts
+
+./grammar.y: conflicts: 32 shift/reduce, 6 reduce/reduce
+
+This may not be a bug, but so much ambiguity can make the parser slow and
+certainly hard to maintain.
+
+i recommend PCCTS.  It's much better at handling ambiguity than bison/flex.
+ So if you are going to rewrite the parser, use something like PCCTS.
