The ChangeLog entry and commit message should as usual list the PRs fixed
(in the format "PR c++/nnnn" - each one does need its own "PR ", with a
single space (not a newline) between the "PR" and "c++/nnnn", to be
detected by log_accum and sent to the PR). Obviously it will fix c++/6095
which is to track the new parser, but some more of the 67 bugs in category
c++ patching "parser" ought to be fixed by the new parser, and checking
them to find which are fixed (and adding testcases for them) should take
little time compared to the actual writing of the parser.
(Checking all 580 c++ bugs (out of 1810 open bugs total in all
categories), not just those marked "parser", would of course be much more
work, though some not so marked may be fixed as well.)
