I find that Menhir's advantages over Ocamlyacc go beyond accepting a
superset of grammars. For instance, Menhir allows the use EBNF notation,
which makes the grammar productions much simpler and easier to read.
Moreover, Menhir facilities for debugging and 'explaining' the grammar
make it a much friendlier tool for beginners and experts alike.
Cheers,
