[m-rev.] lex and moose changed

[Peter Schachte]

Ralph and Holger:

Maybe the best way to resolve this is for each of you to post a simpler
lexer using your preferred scheme.  Hopefully on seeing both, the preferable
approach will become clear.

As a suggested application, here's a token type I'd like to have produced by
the lexer:

	:- type token --->
		plus ; minus ; times ; divide ; int(int) ; ident(string).

Hopefully this is simple enough to be easy to code, and complex enough to
illustrate the differences between the approaches.
