It's tricky because when the statement is treated in the action block
of the parser, flex has already scanned to the next token, and if
there was white space or comments "#.." the lineno variable will be
increased (at least that is the hypothesis). In other words when we
report an error in lineno, the actual line number can/will be off by
the number of whitespace lines to the next valid token. Hmm, food for
thoughts.. how to fix this whiteout hacking to much. Christian, any
ideas?
