Hello Seb,

I had a look at the resources you provided and they are quite 
useful. Thank you.

However, while technically a lexer would be enough to solve the 
problem at hand, I think I'm going to want that full front-end a 
bit later.

The more information, the better. I rather have the option to 
ignore something I don't need than to need something I don't have 
:)
