  Description     : lexer provides generating actionless scanners at run 
time

Scanners are defined by regular expressions and/or lexical grammars, 
mapping between those definitions, token numeric identifiers
and an optional set of starting id sets, providing simmilar 
functionality as switching start states in *nix LEX. The generated FSMs 
are
Unicode arune based and all unicode.Categories and unicode.Scripts are 
supported by the regexp syntax using the \p{name} construct.
