explicitly name rule values

[zaach]

This will allow you to refer to semantic values by a name of your choice, e.g.:

foo: x:bar y:baz
  { $$ = $bar + $baz}
  ;

Is there any reason jison isn't following bison, on this, with bracketed names?

foo: x[bar] y[baz]
    { $$ = $bar + $baz; }
    ;

Sure, we can use brackets.

Cool. Mind if I take a stab at it, this weekend, or is this something you want to play around with?

[zaach]

No, go right ahead. 🍻
