OK, then there are other places in the documentation (e.g. 3.7.8)
which need to indicate the difference in calling convention for
yyerror with %parse-param.

Either something like that (with the default in the absence of the
option being a single arg to yyerror) or increase the release number
of bison to 2 to indicate the incompatibility with (currently released)
1.x versions of bison.  I could live with the additional arg to yyerror
if the release were different, but two incompatible 1.x releases of bison
is a big problem.
