It won't be that hard.  Most occurrences of "s" in the Bison code
proper are states.  I just took a quick look, and the only exceptions
that I found were in system.h, uniqstr.[ch], and vcg.c, which don't
count really; a few places in lalr.c, state.h, and tables.c where
state numbers are called 's'; one or two places in state.c where
symbol numbers are called s; and a few places in gram.h where s is
either a token or a var number.  (These weren't all my "s"s, by the
way; I fear that some of the "s"s in the old code escaped your earlier
dragnet.  :-)

Anyway, let's not worry about how much work it is.  I can do the work;
it's really not that hard.  Let's just worry about what the
conventions should be.
