//  This example shows how to create a simple lexer recognizing a couple of 
//  different tokens and how to use this with a grammar. This example has a 
//  heavily backtracking grammar which makes it a candidate for lexer based 
//  parsing (all tokens are scanned and generated only once, even if 
//  backtracking is required) which speeds up the overall parsing process 
//  considerably, out-weighting the overhead needed for setting up the lexer.
//
//  Additionally, this example demonstrates, how to define a token set usable 
//  as the skip parser during parsing, allowing to define several tokens to be 
//  ignored.
//
//  This example recognizes couplets, which are sequences of numbers enclosed 
//  in matching pairs of parenthesis. See the comments below to for details
//  and examples.
