Matthieu,

Is the camlp4 grammar parser case-insensitive?

Will both Delay and delay be accepted in the actionDelay rule?

	actionDelay: [ [ "delay"; expression ->
		Asthelper.failwith (convert_loc _loc)
			"RVC-CAL does not permit the use of delay." ] ];


Also, I noticed that your lexer has a really small token set, i.e.

type token =
     | KEYWORD of string
     | SYMBOL  of string
     | IDENT   of string
     | INT     of int * string
     | FLOAT   of float * string
     | CHAR    of char * string
     | STRING  of string * string
     | EOI

My custom lexer, on the other hand, has a HUGE token set, e.g.

   type token =
     | BUY_TO_COVER
     | SELL_SHORT
     | AT_ENTRY
     | RANGE
     | YELLOW
     | WHITE
     | WHILE
     | UNTIL
     ...

This is partly because I have a very large set of keywords.

Do I correctly understand that I do not need all the keywords since I  
can match them in the camlp4 grammar as strings like "BuyToCover",  
"SellShort", etc.?

	Thanks, Joel
