   Reasonable Non-LR Grammar

   Hi all,   
      
   Does anyone have a good example of a piece of a (possible) programming   
   language grammar which is not LR(k)? I'm specifically looking for an   
   example of where we can easily use Accent (a compiler-compiler using   
   Earley parsers) without having to mess around with a grammar to avoid LR   
   conflicts. I can contrive (mostly bad) examples but wondering what   
   examples others have.   
      
   Thanks,   
   Dan
