I don't understand.  Are you trying to help me or to debate me? =20

I never said yytname was needed by the actual parser.  I said it is
needed by the programmer.  I find it useful for its stated purpose, to
produce useful messages. (I specifically use it for %printer). =20

I have two answers from you attempting to tutor me about things I
already demonstrated I understand.  While I'm sure you don't intend to
waste your time or mine, that is what's happening.=20

My yytname array is obviously messed up.  Whether or not it's needed by
the parser, whether or not ASCII characters can be used as tokens, is
immaterial. =20

Let's start, shall we, with "is it a bug"? =20
