It's fine as far as it goes, but istm that there are other cases
missing from gram.y also :(

Bruce, how did this stuff get into the stable release? Looks like we
are going to need a v6.5.3 Real Soon Now. And packagers, we should
plan on having a patch for v6.5.2. I'll try coming up with one in the
next couple of days; I've tested on my own gram.y but it has too many
other changes to be used as-is.
