% This module does lexical analysis of Mercury code. Its predicates analyze
% character sequences, and return the token sequences they contain, up to
% and including the token that ens a term, the period character.
% (If the input does not conform to Mercury's rules, then some of the
% returned tokens may be error indications.)
%
% This module exports predicates that do this lexical analysis both
% on characters read in from a stream, and on characters in a string
% (which may or may not represent the contents of a file).
