Ah. This seems to be a requirement completely different from the
one I'm talking about. By this definition, object.h is *not* an
internal header file, yet I want it to be renamed.

As for this issue: how about moving all such private header files
out of Include entirely? The parser-related ones should go into
Parser, for example (grammar.h, bitset.h, graminit.h, metagrammar.h,
errcode.h). This would leave us with opcode.h only.

Thomas said that at least code.h must stay where it is.

What is the reason that you want them to be renamed?
