 It's part of the boilerplate code which built into flex itself.

 The bottom line is that you can't use "BEGIN" as a token identifier
 (REJECT, ECHO and INITIAL are also unavailable; the other macro names are
 unlikely to result in innocent collisions). Add a trailing underscore or
 change the case to avoid a conflict.

 Also the patch attempts to define the TRANSACTION token twice:

 {{{
 %token BEGIN TRANSACTION
 %token COMMIT TRANSACTION
 }}}
