I would disagree strongly. dominators, dominator tree, SSA, value
numbering, loop tree are quite well known within the compiler
community. In fact, I would hazard a guess that it's probably just
some GCC folks that don't have a firm grasp on these concepts. They
are what I would consider basic terminology and concepts for anyone in
this field.
I'd also expect "symbol" and "context-free grammers" to be well known among
the CS community that would use Bison, but their manual defines them.
