No, "complicated" is more related to unused features. In the case of using an aeroplane to transport 3 passengers 10 km along the autobahn, you aren't using the radar, wheel-retractability, wings, pressurised cabin, etc. In your original notion of using a dict in your lexer, you weren't using the mapping functionality of a dict at all. In both cases you have perplexed bystanders asking "Why use a plane/dict when a car/list will do the job?".
Now the matter is getting clearer in my head. Thanks and greetings, Thomas -- Ce n'est pas parce qu'ils sont nombreux à avoir tort qu'ils ont raison! (Coluche) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
