Hmm.. so you're seeing other pains with it? I believe YACC (bison) can do some basic lexical analysis. I haven't gone through all of lexer.l to know the complexity myself.

The letters allowed would then be a superset of those defined as macros in core.flags.py. Also, do you have a sense of how much testing that would require? If it's not much, I can probably create a PR with the changes and tests (in lexer_test.py and/or parser_test.py), if you're ok going that route... > > > >> >> Thanks, >> Shree >> >> PS: I should also mention that I'm not very familiar with YACC - so I >> might also be missing something. >> > > No you're right, it's defined that way. > > > > > >> -- >> You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups >> "Beancount" group. >> To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an >> email to [email protected] <javascript:>. >> To post to this group, send email to [email protected] >> <javascript:>. >> To view this discussion on the web visit >> https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/beancount/14ac7f0c-b4eb-481d-8152-9db28ad04f79%40googlegroups.com >> >> <https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/beancount/14ac7f0c-b4eb-481d-8152-9db28ad04f79%40googlegroups.com?utm_medium=email&utm_source=footer> >> . >> For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout. >> > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Beancount" group.
