I also came up with such an idea, but I just couldn't find an easy way
to do that, because parser generated by yacc/bison automatically reads
the line and parse it.

I learned yacc/lex more than 5 years ago so I forgot most of the
tidbits around it. I think it's time to study it again to recall the
details. 

If any yacc/lex guru here can shed me a light, I do appreciate it.
