To elaborate on the final point. Sometimes the parser

it breaks output on purpose. Case in point was when Tim rewrote the
preprocessor. Some parts of syntax were intentionally changed. You'd
have to establish a new baseline for this new behavior at that point.
Knowing when things change is important -- you want to know that things
changed *on purpose* not *by accident*.
And yes, that means that baseline shifts can be painful as we have to go
through and see if any of the changes were regressions, but that's the
price of knowing what's going on. ;)
