Nice work, thank!
Poor example though, unless you meant to have Bison digest some
Perl code. Could you please use some C example instead, say
arithmetics :)

Merging will be plenty of fun!

We can also not provide a long option. I have no strong opinion
here, and GCC does not give us the appropriate inspiration for the
long option name.
