That is not the only problem I had with writing a LALR C# grammar. Anything even slightly touching anything else that is used for other stuff caused endless shift/reduce reduce/reduce conflicts. Not to mention I had to totally mangle the intuitive representation of a C# grammar to fit LALR. Forcing tool writers to have to do the sort of shit I did, even without generics, is not the way forward. The alternative of a fully LALR-able language is not necessarily desirable either - 'I want to add a feature which makes my language far more usable, oh hang on, that screws the LALR. Oh well, let's scrap that then'. How about looking at LALR alternatives?!
