I'm happy to waste a few days rediscovering that, then 8-) It's just
got too invasive and ill-defined for my liking.  e.g. you mentioned it
in operations, but it also creeps into types and other things.

Do other compilers written in C have something equivalent?  The only
other compiler whose code I've glanced at is LCC, and I don't recall
something equivalent there, but I've never used it either so I can't
comment on the quality of its diagnostics.  It is recursive descent
rather than yacc, so that might make a difference.
