Gee... again, this already exists and it's called OBJECT CODE! 8:D

But the great thing is... that it's indeed a great idea and it would work!

ZX Spectrum used straight tokenized BASIC, and most BASICs (if not all)
tokenize internally. I'm also coding a PostScript tokenizer for small

Then the assembling pass would *somewhat* disappear... direct linking?!?
