Ok, so a few more negligible things. It doesn't really matter, its output
is not different from say, a slightly different version of the flex scanner.

I disagree. I do believe you wouldn't have even thought about this
solution if it wasn't for the license issue. Having an extra layer of
abstraction in this case is bloat and some overhead. We can improve the
scanner and perform 'further work' without abstracting anything, just like
we do everywhere else.
