Currently, Bison puts a terminal's user number (the one returned by

Perhaps giving more sci-tech names :-):
The token number variable might be termed "token-number". The set of
terminals and non-terminals is technically called "vocabulary", so
the yytname_[] values, if that is what you mean, might be called
"word-number" or something.
As for changing the token numbers, one needs to make sure POSIX does
not require something, like a range starting value.
