; This is the lexical analyzer for the elisp reader.  It is hand-written
; instead of using some generator.  I think this is the best solution
; because of all that fancy escape sequence handling and the like.

; Characters are handled internally as integers representing their
; code value.  This is necessary because elisp allows a lot of fancy modifiers
; that set certain high-range bits and the resulting values would not fit
; into a real Scheme character range.  Additionally, elisp wants characters
; as integers, so we just do the right thing...
