In a bison action I can discover that there is
no lookahead token (yychar == YYEMPTY)


How (if at all) do I force bison to do the lookahead
anyway, so I can examine the next symbol in the
action?

[The usual advice is "don't do that". I suppose you could call yylex,
stick the result in yychar, and hope the bison would do the right
thing. -John]
