Another issue just came up on bison-patches: Collapsing:
| doc/bison.texinfo:@deffn {Macro} YYERROR;
| doc/bison.texinfo:@deffn {Statement} {return YYERROR;}
| doc/bison.texinfo:@deffn {Macro} YYERROR
to one YYERROR index entry
(cf. http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.parsers.bison.patches/5152
and
http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.parsers.bison.patches/5157).
So in this case, not only the sort key would have to be
changeable, but also the index entry itself.
Do you see a consistent syntax to incorporate such a fea-
ture (or another solution to the problem)?
