I was thinking of adding something like
"#".*\n { yylloc.lines(1); yylloc.step(); }
Then the example file could have comments like:
# Run calc++ <this file>
# Causes a deliberate error. Should report ...
The idea is that coming new to bison copies the calc++ directory, compiles it,
sees there are some example files to run, and ready to start experimenting.
