And looking further, it looks like this actually generates a state table
which is interpreted by python code at runtime, the lexer isn't generated
code. The old version of my editor Programmer's Notepad used an editing
component with a state-table lexer with a similar feel to the one
ActiveState has implemented here. It was very powerful but a real pain for
users to get their heads around for basic languages.
