To keep things less confusing, the user should be advised to do things
either the Yacc way or the new way with order-independent declarations.
If he does it the Yacc way, the following would be the layout of the code
file. Everything between the lines would be the layout of the header
file:
pre-prologue
----------------------------
Bison-generated union, YYLTYPE, enum, classes
----------------------------
post-prologue
If he does it new way, the following would be the layout of the code file.
Everything between the lines would be the layout of the header file:
before-header
----------------------------
before-definitions
Bison-generated union, YYLTYPE, enum, classes
after-definitions
----------------------------
after-header
If the user insists on combining the approaches, that's where my confusing
quote at the top of this message comes in.

Does the above explanation make it any better? I think providing a full
self-consistent alternative to the Yacc prologue declarations is simpler
and more flexible than my previous hybrid (which had Yacc prologues
combined with %before-definitions and %after-definitions).
