 * Locations columns and lines start at 1.
   In accordance with the GNU Coding Standards and Emacs.
 
+* You may now declare per-type and default %destructor's and %printer's:
+
+  For example:
+
+    %union { char *string; }
+    %token <string> STRING1
+    %token <string> STRING2
+    %type  <string> string1
+    %type  <string> string2
+    %union { char character; }
+    %token <character> CHR
+    %type  <character> chr
+    %destructor { free ($$); } %symbol-default
+    %destructor { free ($$); printf ("%d", @$.first_line); } STRING1 string1
+    %destructor { } <character>
+
+  guarantees that, when the parser discards any user-defined symbol that has a
+  semantic type tag other than `<character>', it passes its semantic value to
+  `free'.  However, when the parser discards a `STRING1' or a `string1', it
+  also prints its line number to `stdout'.  It performs only the second
+  `%destructor' in this case, so it invokes `free' only once.
+
 * Except for LALR(1) parsers in C with POSIX Yacc emulation enabled (with `-y',
   `--yacc', or `%yacc'), Bison no longer generates #define statements for
   associating token numbers with token names.  Removing the #define statements
