Searching and asking C gurus, it seems that C programmers using Lex
and Yacc (or ANTLR) are out of luck here (they would have to do
everything themselves, not relying on these useful tools).

These tools rely heavily on tables, so you can imagine what it would
be to port them to the world of 100 000 characters, after they were
written for a world of 256 characters :-)
