Lexical elements

The first stage of processing a source file is the division of the source file into lexical elements.

A lexical element is one of the following:

a maximal sequence of whitespace characters
a word
a literal:
- a numeric literal
- a string literal
a comment
a symbolic token

The sequence of lexical elements is formed by repeatedly removing the longest initial sequence of characters that forms a valid lexical element.
