* doc/bison.texinfo (Introduction): Say that IELR(1) and canonical
LR(1) are experimental. Mention Java. Normally experimental
features probably shouldn't be mentioned in the introduction.
However, if Bison's limitations to LALR(1), C, and C++ are so
important that they should be mentioned here, then it's important
to point out that Bison is beginning to escape those limitations.
Moreover, these particular experimental features have very little
chance of being removed.
* src/getargs.c (usage): Say that IELR(1) and canonical LR(1) are
experimental.
(cherry picked from commit d89e48b3c9)
For now, just api.push-pull and lr.keep-unreachable-states.
Maintain old names for backward compatibility.
* NEWS (2.5): Document.
* data/c.m4 (b4_identification): Update comment.
* data/yacc.c: Update access.
* doc/bison.texinfo: Update.
* etc/bench.pl.in (bench_push_parser): Update use.
* src/files.c (tr): Move to...
* src/getargs.c, src/getargs.h (tr): ... here because I can't
think of a better place to expose it. My logic is that, for all
uses of tr so far, command-line arguments can be involved, and
getargs.h is already included.
* src/main.c (main): Update access.
* src/muscle_tab.c (muscle_percent_define_insert): Convert old
variable names to new variable names before assigning value.
* src/reader.c (reader): Update setting default.
* tests/calc.at: Update uses.

rather than LALR(1) grammars.

to deterministic parsers in C rather than LALR(1) parsers in C.
Add lr.default_rules entry.
Add lr.type entry.
(Mystery Conflicts): Bison is no longer limited to LALR(1)
restrictions.

lalr.
