Synonyms in Bison/yacc?

I am writing a parser where I for reasons of clarity would like to
refer to a given construct by one token name in one context and by
another name in another context, e g use the token name INT for [0-9]+
in one place and NUMBER in another.


Basically I would like to just stick in a =


#define NUMBER INT


somewhere, but bison doesn't like this at all. Neither was I allowed to
say
%token INT 4711 NUMBER 4711


Of course I could just have a flag and let yylex return one or the
other depending on the flag, but I was hoping there would be a more
elegant way. Suggestions?

[In your parser, write


NUMBER: INT ;


and just return INT in the lexer. -John]
