+       Instead of using make_symbol<TOK_FOO>, generate make_FOO for each token type.
+       Using template buys us nothing, and makes it uselessly complex to
+       construct a symbol.  Besides, it could not be generalized to other
+       languages, while make_FOO would work in C/Java etc.
+       
+       * data/lalr1.cc (b4_symbol_): New.
+       (b4_symbol): Use it.
+       (b4_symbol_constructor_declaration_)
+       (b4_symbol_constructor_definition_): Instead of generating
+       specializations of an overloaded template function, just generate
+       several functions whose names are forged from the token names
+       without the token.prefix.
+       (b4_symbol_constructor_declarations): Generate them for all the
+       symbols, not just by class of symbol type, now that instead of
+       specializing a function template by the token, we generate a
+       function named after the token.
+       (b4_symbol_constructor_specialization_)
+       (b4_symbol_constructor_specializations): Remove.
+       * etc/bench.pl.in: Adjust to this new API.
