ANSI grammar questions

I just realized it's common in C to have things like "unsigned short int",
which my modification doesn't parse.  (A jellybean for whoever guesses how
long I've been using C.)  Still, I can think of a couple ways to parse these
cases without being as lax as the current grammar.  Why isn't this grammar
more precise?  It would only have to be a little more complicated.

By the way, I'm using the 9nov87 draft grammar.
