do not ignore errors like ENOSPC,EIO when writing to stdout
Standard output was never explicitly closed, so we could not
detect failure. Thus, bison would ignore the errors of writing
to a full file system and getting an I/O error on write, but only
for standard output, e.g., for --print-localedir, --print-datadir,
--help and some verbose output.
Now, "bison --print-datadir > /dev/full" reports the write failure:
bison: write error: No space left on device
Before, it would exit 0 with no diagnostic, implying success.
This is not an issue for "--output=-" or the other FILE-accepting
command-line options, because unlike most other GNU programs,
an output file argument of "-" is treated as the literal "./-",
rather than standard output.

bit, update the cross-references to the manual, and point out that
LAC has caveats. Don't be so adamant that IELR+LAC=canonical LR.
That is, as the referenced section in the manual documents, LAC
does not fix infinite parsing loops on syntax errors.
* doc/bison.texinfo: Consistently drop the "(1)" suffix from LALR,
IELR, and LR in @cindex.
(%define Summary): Condense the entries for lr.default-reductions,
lr.keep-unreachable-states, lr.type, and parse.lac into brief
summaries, and cross-reference the appropriate subsections of
Tuning LR. For parse.lac, mention that it's only implemented for
deterministic parsers in C.
(Error Reporting): When mentioning %error-verbose, mention LAC,
and add cross-reference to the LAC section.
(Tuning LR): New section with an extended version of the
documentation removed from %define Summary. Change all
cross-references in the manual to point here instead of there.
(Calc++ Parser): When mentioning %error-verbose, mention LAC, and
add cross-reference to the LAC section.
(Table of Symbols): In %error-verbose and YYERROR_VERBOSE entries,
add cross-references to Error Reporting.
(Glossary): Capitalize entry titles consistently. Add definitions
for "defaulted state" and "unreachable state". Expand IELR
acronym in IELR's entry.

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.

just point readers to THANKS and ChangeLog.

doc: document experimental features better.
* doc/bison.texinfo (Introduction): Say that IELR(1) and canonical
LR(1) are experimental. Mention Java. Normally experimental
features probably shouldn't be mentioned in the introduction.
However, if Bison's limitations to LALR(1), C, and C++ are so
important that they should be mentioned here, then it's important
to point out that Bison is beginning to escape those limitations.
Moreover, these particular experimental features have very little
chance of being removed.
* src/getargs.c (usage): Say that IELR(1) and canonical LR(1) are
experimental.

Do not allow identifiers that start with a dash.
This cleans up our previous fixes for a bug whereby Bison
discarded `.field' in `$-1.field'. The previous fixes were less
restrictive about where a dash could appear in an identifier, but
the restrictions were hard to explain. That bug was reported and
this final fix was originally suggested by Paul Hilfinger. This
also fixes a remaining bug reported by Paul Eggert whereby Bison
parses `%token ID -123' as `%token ID - 123' and handles `-' as an
identifier. Now, `-' cannot be an identifier. Discussed in
threads beginning at
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bison/2011-01/msg00000.html>,
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bison/2011-01/msg00004.html>.
* NEWS (2.5): Update entry describing the dash extension to
grammar symbol names. Also, move that entry before the named
references entry because the latter mentions the former.
* doc/bison.texinfo (Symbol): Update documentation for symbol
names. As suggested by Paul Eggert, mention the effect of periods
and dashes on named references.
(Decl Summary): Update documentation for unquoted %define values,
which, as a side effect, can no longer start with dashes either.
* src/scan-code.l (id): Implement.
* src/scan-gram.l (id): Implement.
* tests/actions.at (Exotic Dollars): Extend test group to exercise
bug reported by Paul Hilfinger.
* tests/input.at (Symbols): Update test group, and extend to
exercise bug reported by Paul Eggert.
* tests/named-refs.at (Stray symbols in brackets): Update test
group.
