Yes, sorry, that was indeed a poor choice of word.

I meant "No, I don't want to do that".

Currently --help says nothing about the existing skeletons, and I don't want to start.  That's rather something belongs to the documentation.

> I don't believe this has anything to do with the skeletons,

Yes it does.

Yes they are.

> and in this case the baseline language is the language version for the skeleton. I am truly mystified. You have already said what the Bison language version choices are (see below), what is being asked for is that  you include them in the manual. Something like, "Bison output is compilable using version C(), C++(), and D()", where the language version used is inserted in the "()". You might need to use prettier words but the sense is that you know the answer, and the user's of Bison should know it also.

Again, I agree you do have a point, and I will write some documentation about that.  However, I can't remember someone complaining about the targeted language of a given skeleton, so your point is somewhat theoretical.

Cheers.
