I just remembered that %code and %requires are used in the C++ examples in
the documentation. Without a rewrite of those examples, %requires is
necessary because there's no other directive that inserts user code into
the parser header file.
I'm not going to rewrite the C++ examples. Is it still ok to mark the
prologue alternatives as experimental?
Also, I'm thinking of commenting out any mention of Java from the
documentation on the prologue alternatives. I doubt the Java skeleton
will be complete in the next release, and we might forget to remove the
documentation before then. Agreed?
