golex (again!)

[Arlen]

Hi all,

I've seen quite a few requests for golex on the IRC channel and on the
mailing list over the last year or two, and I myself was looking for
the same thing a few days ago.

Like most, I ended up writing a custom lexer to tie into goyacc, but
eventually I realised I could generalise it. The product is a golex
which aims for maximum flex compatibility:

Here's an example of the input:

golex is still under development, but I hope you have a look, maybe
give it a try if you're looking for a lexer, and patches are most
welcome. :-)

Cheers,

Arlen
