This is an interesting observation, because Bison is about to switch
from using M4 to probably Guile, when writing out the skeleton files:
It became simply too difficult to do it via M4. There is supposed to
be an experimental Bison-Guile version somewhere.


Perhaps there is a gap here -- a program made especially good for
"pretty-printing" or "expressing" via parser actions.
