Hi Adrian and friends,

I need to re-parse some input, starting at an offset and an initial
state. I know I can just set "p" to the offset and "cs" to the state,
however, my states are meaningful outside of the parser. My program is a
language parser for syntax highlighting, so I need int constants that
represent the type of tokens founds. I need some way of saying, "parse
this char[] at offset X using initial token type LITERAL_CHAR". I don't
care if the LITERAL_CHAR constant is the same as the parser state, but I
need some way of setting "cs" to a specific machine name or label.

I came across a post on the mailing list from 2007 saying, "For a really
long time now I've been meaning to implement a new feature which should
help you out. %% write entry <machine_or_label>;". This would work
nicely I think. I guess it has been a *really* really long time now, eh?
:D Is there any chance that this feature could be implemented soonly?

Thanks!
-Nate
