I am still slowly trying to normalize the name of the variables we will use in Bison 2.6. This patch deprecates %error-verbose in favor of %define parse.error "verbose".

I think "parse.error" is ok, but I'd be happy to receive other proposals. I am less satisfied with "simple" and "verbose". "simple" is ok, but it could be "constant" for instance. Or "yacc" for that matter (actually I don't know if POSIX mandates the format of the error message).

"verbose" is not too good, as it is very vague, and can easily denote many other strategies for error-messages. What will we put if some day we allow the user to hook the generation of error messages (for instance to specify how to display the "unexpected" token)?

I have pushed this as "candidates/parse.error".

I have pushed the following in master, and removed this candidate branch.
