I'm facing another aspect of the same problem: pure parsers don't pass
the locations to yyerror, which is damn painful.

But I'm not fond of having yet another YY*_PARAM to define, couldn't
we just use YYPARSE_PARAM directly?  And we would also pass yylloc
when used.

Also, I think we should make sure to end with the message, otherwise
we would prevent some fprintf-like yyerror.

Finally, it's a real pity that YYERROR has already another meaning :(
