We definitely need fresh eyes to spot what the documentation does not
state clearly.  Please note that there are also several examples that
ship with Bison (in examples/), and should be install together with the
documentation (typically /usr/local/share/doc/bison/examples/).
They are intended to be sources of inspiration and/or starting points.
