+The parser has the information, but we are not consuming it properly.
+
+We might be able to "stash" all the tokens on a variable when the
+error is reported and use that in our call to Report.Error.
+
+Or alternatively, we could change the yyError interface to take the
+list of strings and report this to the user.
