I’m not working on this currently, so it would be a very welcome
contribution!  I have not looked at it in details, so I don’t know
either how it would interact with GLR, but it would be nice to find
a means to factor LAC support as much as possible (glr/non-glr,
c/c++, possibly java).

I’ll be happy to help!
