-* Default Action
-From Hans:
-- For use with my C++ parser, I transported the "switch (yyn)" statement
-that Bison writes to the bison.simple skeleton file. This way, I can remove
-the current default rule $$ = $1 implementation, which causes a double
-assignment to $$ which may not be OK under C++, replacing it with a
-"default:" part within the switch statement.
-
-Note that the default rule $$ = $1, when typed, is perfectly OK under C,
-but in the C++ implementation I made, this rule is different from
-$<type_name>$ = $<type_name>1. I therefore think that one should implement
-a Bison option where every typed default rule is explicitly written out
-(same typed ruled can of course be grouped together).
