Have you noticed particularly slow parse times? That would happen when
you open a large file; it takes a second or two before you can do
anything. The parser is actually running in the background for
font-lock, but it still ties things up.

Thanks for this. I really do need to set up INSTALL and user_guide.texi

No, it's no longer the Wisent parser; it's the Wisi parser. I re-wrote
the parser to support generalized LALR; when it hits a conflict, it
spawns another parser, and follows both paths until one errors out.

I guess it's ok to call them Wisent grammars, but maybe just "grammars"
would be better? The 'wisent' command line tool won't accept these files
because of the %conflict statements, and because of the conflicts.
