To recover from errors better by using YACC's built-in error
recovery features.  Maybe unifying the C and Java parsers.  I
admit I don't know how J-Python parses Python.

I kind of threw in my objection to tokenize.py which should be
combined with tokenizer.c.  Of course it is work which only
results in the same operation as before, but reduces the code
base.  Not a popular project.

A very good point.  I am not 100% sure it is worth it.  But I
found the current parser unworkable for my project.
