We don't. I just made a point that %noreject doesn't solve
everything. If you one day want to use REJECT(or ECHO) in flex,
it breaks.

Haven't you heard a word ? ECHO, REJECT and BEGIN are pre defined
actions in flex that you can use in your C code. Go read flex again.
Yes, it would have been better if they had named them YYECHO YYREJECT and
YYBEGIN but they didn't.
