No, leave it on the v6.4 FixIt list. This is the start of that list,
right?

Well, I don't know how you would fix it without rewriting the parser or
changing the associativity of generic operators. I would suggest leaving
it off the ToDo list altogether, unless someone can suggest a viable
solution. The example suggests it is a problem with OIDs or with the "@"
operator, not a fundamental feature of the yacc/bison parser.

Yeah. Let's turn this list into the v6.4 FixIt list; you've done one for
every release I can remember and it has been very helpful.

Be sure to add the views problem to this list ;)

Also, add the html/hardcopy documentation since we will re-release the
User's Guide, Admin Guide, and Programmer's Guide.
