   Its needs/is an ambigous grammar.

   GLR (Bison has GLR) was ment to be the answer, although it is slow compared   
   to other techniques.   
      
   Elkhound and Elsa tried GLR approach and failed.   
      
   All the major C++ parsers are hand coded, recursive decent and precedance   
   based binary ops.

   Thats probably impossible.
