I thought about this for a while, and looked at the documentation
(which doesn't match what the code does), and decided to revert the
change to yytname instead.  That way, yytname will be unambiguous and
code that relies on the Bison 2.0-and-earlier convention will continue
to work.

The idea of removing the quotes was to prepare for better error reporting. Is that now reversed?
