Hi Tom,
I've added help-bison. Maybe someone there will know more.

Isn't your inner loop sufficient? The body could just translate and index
into yytname.
In any case, YYMAXUTOK and yytranslate are not documented for users
either.
Again, it would be great if someone could recall how %token-table and the
yytname table it generates were originally intended to be used. The
trouble is that yytname indices are internal token numbers, but there
seems to be no mechanism that is documented for the Bison user to
translate internal token numbers to user token numbers (which are the
token numbers returned by yylex). How then is yytname useful?
