Suggestions
===========

* Suggested by Akim Demaille:
  The macros emitted to compensate glib might be grouped in a single string, 
  defined in an external file `/usr/share/monoburg/monoburg-header.h', then 
  output by a single call to output().

  This is nicer but it needs an external file to be installed.

* Reserve %include for brg files?

  Instead of allowing an %include directive in the prelude, we might
  provide verbatim sections with %{ and %}, à la Yacc.  Thus,

    %include foo.h
    %%
    # ...

  would be written

    %{
    #include "foo.h"
    %}
    %%
    # ...

  I (Roland) am not completely sure about this, so comments are
  welcome.

* Provide header-define option as a %-directive

* Revamp the scanner.

  It is a real mess.  Either use a Lex-generated scanner (but it adds a
  dependency on another tool, which Mono developers might not want); or
  rewrite it.

* Postponed output emission.

  Don't write the output file during the parsing, as options can be
  passed as %-directives. This options may affect the output files, so
  we should parse the input file(s) entirely, and only then start
  emitting output files.

  See how Bison handles this.
