i think it was an interesting idea, but didn't really give you anything
much over coding it my hand. yacc gave you a lot, but the error

however, given that rc's grammar was implemented in yacc it
described the 'language'. iirc many 'normal' bourne shell
constructions worked, but nobody knew why, and then there
was the shell-gol.
