broke some tinderboxes, but not others. I suspect that's because of
older version of bison on these tinderboxes.

SQL is LARL(1),

That's plausible.

I fail to see the wisdom in hiding our parser bugs by pretending it
is not...

It takes less developer time, and less risk of breaking existing code
looking at parse trees by changing the grammar. I'd be happy to take a
patch cleaning up sqlbison.y thoroughly.

I tried it locally, it worked, I pushed happily. After getting up in
the morning, I discover it has annoying consequences for LibreOffice
as a whole. <sigh> Obviously, this can change the cost / benefit
analysis.
