We had a Programming SIG presentation about this and someone is
still unclear about what was presented. My comment about a referee
was an attempt to have Steve clarify what I took away from that
presentation. And as I understood it

GRAMMAR LEX --> C code

C code from LEX YACC --> Parser

Before we go for "deeper understanding", let us try and get the
basics down first.
