Thanks Arnaldo, this looks good to me! There is a separate issue, the
casts are necessary as we have PE_VALUEs that are supposed to be
numbers but here are list*. It seems error prone to have something
that is a pointer or a number, and so I wonder if we can introduce new
tokens in parse-events.y to handle this. It'd also mean that
yydestructors and the like could clean up error states. I'll try to
take a look.

Thanks,
Ian
