I am unsure i do see i used the t(race)/debug flag. Would that specify
%debug and set yydebug to true? (i use bison --report=all -y
--report-file=conflicts -v -t -d file.y).

I am not sure what other traces exist or what is consider a tracer but i do
get a (trace?) dump when i hit a reduce/reduce error in syntax.
I am using the prompt. It should show me the msg since i can see my stdout
and stderror printfs i run in my own code.

But really, i dont know what i should expect from printer or if it will suit
my needs. Would it help me debug error handling syntax? Regular syntax is
done.
