Instead of introducing make_symbol (whose name, btw, somewhat
infringes on the user's "name space", if she defines a token named
"symbol"), let's make the construction of symbol_type safer, using
assertions.
For instance with:
%token ':' <std::string> ID <int> INT;
generate:
symbol_type (int token, const std::string&);
symbol_type (int token, const int&);
symbol_type (int token);
It does mean that now named token constructors (make_ID, make_INT,
etc.) go through a useless assert, but I think we can ignore this: I
assume any decent compiler will inline the symbol_type ctor inside the
make_TOKEN functions, which will show that the assert is trivially
verified, hence I expect no code will be emitted for it. And anyway,
that's an assert, NDEBUG controls it.
