Nope. I can provide an alpha if you want, but a lot of work is still
needed.

OK, I'll try to address this issue. Do you thing 1.36 is needed? I'm
fine with that if you think that can help. But it will not include
the stuff that 1.49b caught in GCC.

YYSTYPE is available *after* %union. This is because some people have
a %{ %} before %union that define types in %union. If you find some
more elegant scheme, I buy it!
BTW, do you mean pre 1.35 was better in this respect?

Not soon, unfortunately.
