Message-ID: <9304162245.AA20615@astro.mv.us.adobe.com> (raw)

because otherwise yacc gives conflicts.  if you really want to do that,
use
	'if'^if

this has to do with the way the first, word, and comword productions
are used.  it's sensible and hasn't caused anyone problems until now.

it also dates back to Tom Duff's plan 9 rc, so Byron can just say
he did it for purposes of compatibility.  :-)
