Yes, that sounds reasonable. My assumption is that a missing action
continues to be treated as { $$ = $1; }, so for missing actions Bison
would warn about typed $2, $3, etc., not used but would not warn about
typed $1 not used.

YYUSED should do the trick, no? So all we need to do is document it?

Yes, that sounds right.
These two patches are still pending in this area.

The former is more important. I'd like Paul H.'s opinion on it, but
if he's busy I guess we can check it in and then revert it if problems
turn up. I will try to look at the latter in the next couple of days.
Are there other issues in this area?
