The SPEC expressions and the POLISH programs rely on Bison and a home
grown lex which run on a Linux system.

I'd not say there is paucity, just that the parenthesis are used in
unusual positions.

Nemmind. Answered my own question: "No." if break(a) [for example]
uses parenthesized notation in 1.10

By the paucity of parenthesized function argument lists in Pipelines,
I'm guessing that John Hartmann had just started
experimenting
with LALR parsers / lexx / yacc for developing Pipelines around the time
1.10 became frozen in IBM VM distributions?
