I think supporting only IDENT wouldn't be all that much of a loss.

But yeah, c_expr isn't enough. We really need {a,b}_expr sans postfix
expressions. I tried to create something like that earlier and found my bison
grammar foo a bit rusty.

Hm. I wonder if we could do a hack where we parse the a_expr ColId as a
regular a_expr and then check for that in the target_el rule or in parse
analysis and pull the ColId out.
