This does not work, as --output-file Parser.cc will produce files Parser.cc
and Parser.hh, --output-file Parser.cp will produce files Parser.cp and
Parser.hp, etc. Why should one be restricted to those combinations?

Besides, this argument could be applied to remove the .yy feature.

I think the question is: Why do people want to use the .yy extension? That
is, is it dictated by some functional aspect, like that it is needed in
order for "make" to being handle it properly or something?
