When it comes to implementing a language, the first thing needed is the
ability to process a text file and recognize what it says. The
traditional way to do this is to use a
`lexer <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lexical_analysis>`_" (aka
`lexer <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lexical_analysis>`_ (aka
'scanner') to break the input up into "tokens". Each token returned by
the lexer includes a token type and potentially some metadata (e.g. the
numeric value of a number). First, we define the possibilities:

The identifier case is a little more complex. We have to check for
keywords to decide whether we have captured an identifier or a keyword:
