 	type yyLexer interface {
 		Lex(lval *yySymType) int
+		Error(e string)
 	}
 
 Lex should return the token identifier, and place other token
 information in lval (which replaces the usual yylval).
+Error is equivalent to yyerror in the original yacc.
 
 Code inside the parser may refer to the variable yylex
 which holds the yyLexer passed to Parse.
