Thanks for dropping those.

For the case where there are no valid referents, I think Bison should 
consistently report "invalid reference".  I don't see how "unresolved 
reference" describes the subcase of no suggestions any better.  A 
suggestion is not a resolution, in my view.

Now that you're consistently saying "reference" and not occasionally 
"symbol", I don't understand the motivation for this change, which creates 
an unintuitive distinction from all other error messages about references.

Thanks.
