The rules receive rule numbers 1 to NRULES in the order they are
written. More precisely Bison augments the grammar with the
- initial rule, `$axiom: START-SYMBOL EOF', which is numbered 1, all
- the user rules are 2, 3 etc. Each time a rule number is presented
- to the user, we subtract 1, so *displayed* rule numbers are 0, 1,
- 2...

+ all the user rules are 2, 3 etc. Each time a rule number is
+ presented to the user, we subtract 1, so *displayed* rule numbers
+ are 0, 1, 2...
Internally, we cannot use the number 0 for a rule because for
instance RITEM stores both symbol (the RHS) and rule numbers: the
symbols are shorts >= 0, and rule number are stored negative.
Therefore 0 cannot be used, since it would be both the rule number
- 0, and the token EOF).

Actions are accessed via the rule number.
RULES[R].assoc -- the associativity of R.
