I have gram.y patches to do this. No visible effect on the regression execution speed,
which thanks to Bruce is on my machine down to a record 2:23 elapsed execution time;
the last speeds were in the 2:31 range.

I'm planning on bumping the gram.y cvs version to 2.0 for this change, due to the
_large_ number of accumulated improvements. Any objections?
