There are currently two known bugs: it calls {pru,a} valid but rejects {prua}
(I say they're both invalid), and checking of 'y' in lujvo is broken if the
"-r" option is specified. I've fixed the second and found what to fix in the
first, and I've added a few test cases to the file in the tarball. The new
version should be out in a few days.

Glad to hear that. I'll change the blurb at the top of the algorithm.
