//  This example shows how to create a simple lexer recognizing a couple of 
//  different tokens aimed at a simple language and how to use this lexer with 
//  a grammar. It shows how to associate attributes to tokens and how to access the 
//  token attributes from inside the grammar.
//
//  Additionally, this example demonstrates, how to define a token set usable 
//  as the skip parser during parsing, allowing to define several tokens to be 
//  ignored.
//
//  The example demonstrates how to use the add(...)(...) syntax to associate 
//  token definitions with the lexer and how token ids can be used in the 
//  parser to refer to a token, without having to directly reference its 
//  definition.
//
//  This example recognizes a very simple programming language having 
//  assignment statements and if and while control structures. Look at the file
//  example6.input for an example.
//
//  This example is essentially identical to example4.cpp. The only difference 
//  is that we use the self.add() syntax to define tokens and to associate them
//  with the lexer.
