As you point out, the interpretation of `the line number of a rule' is
ambiguous:

Right now, it seems that you have set the line number of an implicit @n
rule to the starting line of the rule it is a part of, and then the numbers
seems to be OK. Whether this is right or not depends, I figure, on what
this array should be used for.

I leave the interpretation of this to you.

I think that the Bison manual should try to explain as exactly as possible
how the numbers in this array yyrline[] are defined, in order to avoid
future confusion.
