OK. I admit I downloaded the C spec online, but was a bit taken aback by
the size of it. mot of it was the definition of the standard library,
but still...

resolution of types until after parsing?
Yes, that the way I'd do it. But some people seem to want to do it while
parsing. Maybe it blocks some parsing, if the parser encounter an
identifier where there should be a type?
Hm, I don't *think* C has such ambiguities but I could well be wrong. In
any case, if it can handle the non-ambiguous case, that's enough for me. :)
