I think we'll be able to handle the original Savage C/BASIC/Java syntaxen
using a preprocessor like Andy's, which would then output grammar which is
compatible with our new compiler.

Of course, we should be trying to persuade people to switch to our more
complete and standard syntax, but we should also aim to support the Savage
"legacy" syntax... :-)
