Well, you don't really need to know anything about the parsing algorithm
to see that the way you had it was ambiguous. Consider input
DEFAULT = foo
If DEFAULT can be a ColLabel, then there are two valid parsings of
this input: one in which foo is reduced to c_expr and one in which
it's reduced to a typename. That ambiguity is what creates the
shift/reduce conflict.
BTW, I would recommend b_expr not c_expr as the expression nonterminal
to use, if possible. (Actually, I suspect a_expr would work, in which
case you might as well use it.)
