I think I used "boundary" in bison/src/location.h and its clients
because the Bison manual uses the word "position" to mean location,
e.g., it has a @node "Token Positions" that uses the terms "position"
and "location" interchangeably.  These terms both cover the entire
range of a terminal or nonterminal, from beginning to end.  To avoid
confusion with the manual, I used a different word.

Sorry, I didn't realize that "position" was used in the "boundary"
sense in data/lalr1.cc.

Either word is fine with me, so long as the documentation and code use
it consistently.
