You might want to try recent versions of Bison, and the GLR output.
The idea is:

string: DEFINE;
string: DECLARE;
string: DATE;

definition: DEFINE string string

etc. for each keyword. Then, the GLR parser will keep only the valid
interpretation, even with "define define define" (not that I would
recommend such a syntax).


| Are there any hacks I can make in Bison  ?

Yep.  Look for Heisenberg tokens on the web, it's an alternative.
