I believe it was originally Robert Corbett, though I think Richard
Stallman was responsible for making it conform to standards (e.g. in
the matter of name spaces).

It depends on what you mean by "easily". We have been trying this
approach for a couple of months and it's still not working. I
initially approved of this approach because I thought it was a simple,
portable change, but I am not a C++ expert and it's clear that I was
mistaken.
If we had a lot of programmers who were willing to test this approach
on a lot of different compilers, then I suppose it might be done
"easily". But I am skeptical that either your patch, or dgluss's
patch (which merely fixes the problem for certain Microsoft
platforms), will be widely portable; whereas the patch that I've
proposed will basically revert to the way Bison used to do things, and
this has apparently worked for many years, so I have more confidence
in its portability.
