+Subject: [PATCH] parser: Fix the build with GCC 8.1.1
+
+Otherwise it fails with:
+
+vteseq.cc:47:1: error: declaration of
+      'void vte::parser::Sequence::print() const' has a different
+      exception specifier
+    vte::parser::Sequence::print() const
+    ^~~
+  In file included from vteinternal.hh:30,
+                   from vteseq.cc:34:
+  parser-glue.hh:83:14: note: from previous declaration
+      'void vte::parser::Sequence::print() const noexcept'
+           void print() const noexcept;
+                ^~~~~
+
+... and so on.
