+       doc: clean up naming of various Bison files.
+       The Bison manual's names for various files associated with a Bison
+       parser has devolved into inconsistency.  This patch makes the
+       naming consistent for the most important files.  First, it chooses
+       "grammar file" over "input file".  The former appears to be more
+       traditional in the Bison manual, and Bison has other input
+       files (skeletons).  Second, it chooses "parser implementation
+       file" over names like "parser file", "parser source file", "parser
+       source code file", and "parser output file".  The new name makes
+       it clearer where Bison generates the main parser implementation,
+       and it is easily distinguishable from "parser header file".
+       * doc/bison.texinfo: Implement throughout.
