No criticism should stop this module being accepted, as we do not have any other lexer in the runtime anyway. Therefore I suggest we accept std.lexer until a better solution comes up.

The problem is that this is what has been done before, and now we are more or less stuck with outdated, sometimes poorly-written, often buggy modules (std.signals being one example).
