Well, I meant defining some lisp representation if the flex and bison
input, which upon compilation wrote flex and bison C routines which
are loaded in the normal way.  In GCL, one really does have access to
anything one has in C.

If we were ever to pursue this, I really would advocate not using an
experimental lexer and parser.  No need to reinvent critical tools
when well tested ones are available with a little glue.

Take care,
