Yes, from 1000 feet up, I can imagine there is such a thing. =20

According to Arthur Clarke, ?Any sufficiently advanced technology is
indistinguishable from magic?.  That's pretty much my understanding of
how Bison works.=20

That's right. =20

I know that if there's no action, then { $$ =3D $1; } is provided by
default.  Clearly, that can never be the final step after a defined
action, as it would override the action or conceal the programmer's
failure to define a value for $$.  But I have the impression that $$ is
sometimes initialized at start-of-action, depending on the skeleton. =20

So, I don't depend on it.  :-)
