My point is that it doesn't make sense to try and design the lexer around an 
as yet undesigned and unused VLE range. Either the lexer should just move 
forward with how things are currently done and then be adjusted later to use 
VLE ranges once they've been sorted out, or it should be postponed until VLE 
ranges are sorted out.
