Incidentally, I already happened to have one of those in my patch series
where the consequences were all too bad.
Here goes: flex/bison files need, for lack of better alternatives, to be
edited in c++-mode in Emacs.
Unmatched double quotes throw all syntactic entities off terribly. So
I'd tend to just double those quotes where they occur in a pattern like
[^\\""] { ...
since duplication in a character set is harmless. An uglier alternative
would be
[^\\"] // "
{ ...
Is the former ok with people? It does no harm, and is not likely to get
confused with anything. And it makes handling those files in c++-mode
smoother in Emacs and likely in other editors as well.
