Sterling,
> Uhh, flex, while easier to write, would be slower in this case.
That's only words and your own impression.
Try and compare. You'll see that you are wrong.
Compare with php lexer. It takes only 3-4 ms to parse 1M of awesome php
source.
It's because of Flex's power. Without Flex you would write the first
adequate php lexer till today.
