    3.1.2 Prologue Alternatives, pg. 50
    “and the new YYLTYPE definition before the Bison-generated YYSTYPE
    and YYLTYPE definitions in both the parser implementation file and
    the parser header file”.

    This position causes, in this case, YYLTYPE to be doubly defined in the same scope.

     1. Is this exclusive to YYLTYPE or to all declarations?
     2. Doesn't this cause a doubly defined error in C?
     3. In C++ and Java,  doesn't this cause two different declarations
        with the same name
        because of scoping rules?
        That means that, for example, a function referencing the
        declaration in the same
        class sees one definition, and a function referencing a
        declaration in a different class
        sees another. Suppose that a function defined in a separate
        class than yyparse() is
        located in passes a parameter defined with this declaration,
        what happens if the variable
        passed is located in the yyparse() class or in a different
        class. Although the
        declaration names are the same, scoping makes them different.

Is this a bug?
