Note that you only have to avoid modifying yyleng if you also want to call
yymore(), in the same action.  I got around that by using a home-grown
replacement of yymore() that copies the current my_yytext to a separate
array my_yytext with length indicator my_yyleng.  Code outside the lexer
only ever looks at my_yytext, not the real yytext.
