Given your concern with performance, I'm surprised to see scripting

I'm not interested in that either.

I was hoping you were thinking of some C variation that would compile 
Bison as is (or nearly) but give us some additional capabilities.  
Unfortunately, C++ is the only one I'm familiar with, but I was hoping you 
might know of others.
