I think that this is only a problem when using top-down parsers. A bottom-up parser should handle this situation easily.

Yes, it could be made to work, but it would have to be a backtracking parser, and it would probably be slow. Most bottom-up parsers (such as those produced by bison) are LALR(1), which only has one token look-ahead.
