--- Lexical scanner for creating a sequence of tokens from text.
--

lexer.scan(s) returns an iterator over all tokens found in the -- string s. This iterator returns two values, a token type string -- (such as 'string' for quoted string, 'iden' for identifier) and the value of the -- token. --

-- Versions specialized for Lua and C are available; these also handle block comments -- and classify keywords as 'keyword' tokens. For example: --

-- > s = 'for i=1,n do'
-- > for t,v in lexer.lua(s)  do print(t,v) end
-- keyword for
-- iden    i
-- =       =
-- number  1
-- ,       ,
-- iden    n
-- keyword do
--
