I thought about this. It would be convenient for people wishing to extend 
Lua's syntax to make sure they would not be breaking anything. but we 
most certainly do not want to encourage people to create Lua derivatives,
and still want to call it Lua. So, the yacc file is not going to happen
(plus it'd be a lot of work.)
