Ok, there are three tokens: the absorbed (BU), the absorbing (KOhA)
and the token resulting from the absorption (BY). One of BU or KOhA
is said to be "relabeled" as BY, and the other is said to be "removed".
It makes no difference, it's all metaphoric anyway. Whichever is left
behind relabeled as BY is available to interact with a new BU, the
other one is removed (and remembered for post-parsing reinsertion).

I meant to say it should do that according to the rules. I know that
the implementation has some bugs.

Let's vote on it, then. :-)
