	I was just saying I thought that would be the most useful solution from
	an end use point of view.  I can't come up with a good way to do it 
	from a technical POV, other than making the parser/lexer itself 
	modular, and have different parsers you could tell it to use,
	depending on the desired behavior.  i.e. have an ANSI standard version
	of the lexer, a MicroFocus version of the lexer, a Fuji version of 
	the lexer, etc, and be able to specify at runtime which one to 
	compile with.  Kind of like gcc's -ansi flag, though I'm not sure
	how that's implemented.
