+# When a file containing the example is passed to parse_file() it returns
+# a list whose only element is the output of parse_expr() above:
+#	[['hip', ['hop', 'hur-ray']]]
+
+
+# TOKENIZING:
+#
+# Comments start with semicolon (;) and continue till the end of the line.
+#
+# Tokens are separated by whitespace, except the following characters
+# always form a separate token (outside strings):
+#	( ) '
+# Strings are enclosed in double quotes (") and backslash (\) is used
+# as escape character in strings.
