Only that C++ uses different idioms than C, and it has become common in C++
to write out fuller names, prefixes like "yy" can instead be handled by the
C++ "namespace" feature, etc. When thinking of adding other output
languages than just C and C++, the output naming conventions might become
even more diverse.

If you have some good suggestions or patches, it is better you report it to
the Bison lists. If will do likewise, if I figure out something.
