Just some notes here that providing C syntax with Felix leads
to some interesting ambiguities such as:
int f(long q) { return x; }
being interpreted as
call (int f) (long q) { return x; };
i.e. as a call, because all the terms here are valid expressions
in Felix. OTOH 'int' isn't a keyword. Even worse:
int f(long q) { return x; }
f 1L;
becomes:
call (int f) (long q) { return x; } f 1L;
This is worse because whilst in the first case we
might prefer the C interpretation when merging two GLR
parses of a statement, that won't work in the second
case because we're preferring 1 C then 1 Felix/C statement
opposed to a single Felix statement.
The merge for this is currently:
statements statement
that is, ALL the previous statements are merged to the next one.
