So, like, the other day Jerry Van Baren mumbled:

Please follow the patch layout guideline like this:

    Mail headers with
    From: <"default" author>
    Subject: <patch summary line>

    From: <actual author if different than mail envelope author>

    <detailed log message>

    <sign-off as needed>
    ---

    Notes and commentary

    <actual patch inline text>

As it was, manual patch editing was necessary to dodge
your introductory explanation.

Applied and pushed out!

However, two comments:

> ... but does _not_ delete the -R 
> option (left as an exercise for the reader to make it useful :-).

I'll certainly entertain a patch to fix the reserve space problem. :-)
That could have been my fault, though we both had our fingers in that pie.

> +	fprintf(stderr, "\t-q\n");
> +	fprintf(stderr, "\t\tQuiet: -q suppress warnings, -qq errors, -qqq all\n");

This is a bit misleading.  Sepcifically, -qqq does not currently
suppres "all" messagesm notably	those through yyerror().
An ambitious soul might beat me to fixing that up...


Thanks,
