I have 221 tokens, and 233 non-terminals .. both just barely
within the 246 limit. 

Looking at dypgen code it is using integer sequence numbers:
I can't tell at this time whether it uses magic. I guess
that Ocamlyacc uses magic. Not sure about Menhir.

* Magic which assumes sequential tags of constructors 
isn't compatible with polymorphic variants.

* It looks like Ocamlyacc is close to blowing up too

The dypgen grammar representation is built of symbols of the variant
type with a case for each terminal and non-terminal AND 
parametrised by all the non-terminals: so there are around
500 cases with 233 type parameters.
