   The role of the lexer is to cut  up Anubis source texts into ``tokens''. The lexer also
   has the responsability  to skip comments and to handle 'read'  paragraphs. The lexer is
   called only by  the parser, which may want  to get the ``next token''  from the current
   source.

   The  type 'Lexer' is  defined in  'parser_1.apg.anubis'. Such  a lexer  is used  by the
   parser. The lexer needs to receive an  input stream, and the dictionary of signs, which
   is used for recognizing signs.
   
   
public define Lexer
   make_lexer
     (
       Stream                          input,
       Dictionary1(SignEntry,String)   sign_dictionary
     ). 
   
   
   
   
   --- That's all for the public part ! --------------------------------------------------
   
   
   The lexer  needed by the parser  (of type 'Lexer' defined  in 'parser_1.apg.anubis') is
   made of two functions:
   
         (One -> Token_Value_preparser)   read_token
         (Token_Value_preparser -> One)   unput_token

   
   The first thing we need is a state for the lexer:         
   
type InOffPar:
   in,          // we are within a paragraph
   off.         // we are off any paragraph
   
type LexerState:
   lexer_state
     (
       Var(InOffPar),
       Var(Position),                     // position of beginning of currently read token
       String,                            // name of module (absolute path for a file)
       Stream,                            // input stream
       Var(List(Token_Value_preparser)),  // unput stack
       Dictionary1(SignEntry,String)      // dictionary of all signs
     ). 
   
   This state contains: 
   
      - the indication that we are within a paragraph or not, 
      - the position of the first character of the token currently read, 
      - the name of the currently read module, 
      - the input stream for that module, 
      - the unput stack (a list of valued tokens), 
      - the whole state of the compiler (this allows access to dictionaries). 


   The next function generates a state for a new stream:
   
define LexerState
   make_lexer_state
     (
       String                           module_name,   // absolute_path for a file
       Stream                           stream, 
       Dictionary1(SignEntry,String)    sign_dict
     ) =
   with pos_v = var(position(module_name,1,0)), 
   lexer_state
     (
       var(off), 
       pos_v, 
       module_name, 
       stream, 
       var([ ]), 
       sign_dict
     ). 
   
   
   
   
   
   *** [] Invisible sign. 
   
   Anubis 2 recognizes two invisible signs, which are:
   
     - the ``white'' binary infix sign,
     - the ``juxtaposition'' binary infix sign. 
   
   The  white sign  is made  of a  sequence of  (at least  one) white  characters (spaces,
   carriage return,  line feed, and  comments), and the  juxtaposition sign is made  of no
   character at all.   However, these signs are  present in the source texts  only if they
   are between a ``final'' and an ``initial'' token (in this order).
   
   Roughly speaking, a final token is a token  which may be the last one in an expression.
   An initial  token is a token  which may be the  first one in  an expression. Precisely,
   this property is defined by the two functions 'is_final' and 'is_initial' below.
   
   Examples: 
   
       f(a)            juxtaposition between 'f' and '('
       f (a)           white between 'f' and '('
       a + b           no invisible sign
       ? x : A E       white sign between 'A' and 'E' only

      *** [] Reading all sorts tokens. 

   
   The  lexer must  generate all  alternatives  of the  type 'Token_Value_preparser'.  The
   alternatives which induce some special work are:
   
      - eof(_) must be returned when end of file is reached
   
      - end_of_par(_)  returned when the  token last  returned is  'dot(_)' and  two blank
        lines have been seen or the end of file is reached
   
      - decimal(_)  the   operand  is  a  list   which  must  be   constructed  (same  for
        hexadecimal(_) and string(_))
   
      - white(_) and juxtapos(_) must be generated when appropriate
   
      - in the case of signs, the sign must be recognized in order to be associated to its
        model
   
      - in the case of symbol(_), keywords must be recognized

   *** [] The lexer. 
   

   The lexer must remember if the last returned  token is final or not, and if it has read
   white characters or comments after this token.
   
type LastStatus:       // status of last token read
   non_final,
   final_no_blank,
   final_plus_blank.
   
   
   When it reads the next  token, it must
   proceed as follows:
   
      - the previous one was not final:               
          return the next token
   
      - the previous one was final, and no white char read since:   
          if the next one is initial, return a juxtaposition sign and keep the next token,
          otherwise return the next token,
     
      - the previous one was final, with white chars read since: 
          if  the next  one is  initial, return  a  white sign  and keep  the next  token,
          otherwise return the next token. 
   
   The lexer eventually keeps  a token (simulates an 'unput'), and returns  it at the next
   call.
