You might want to look first at what's needed to get rid of the
shift/reduce conflicts in the ObjC parser, since anything touching
attributes has tended to be very fragile in terms of adding more conflicts
(and so in terms of being able to be reasonably sure that the change does
not cause incorrect parsing in some cases). (Once I've checked in my C
parser patch, that is - which will be once I can get a working bootstrap
of unmodified mainline in a reasonable time (the current problem being the
libjava tests hanging that's just been noted).)
