In some compilers, the stages of parsing and analysis can overlap.
In short, just like the pirate's code, it's more of a guideline than a rule.

The first token: whitespace. This includes the space character,
and the newline character. We ignore it, so its rule is empty. After that,
we have the regular expressions for the tokens we've talked about. For each, I just
print a description of the token that matched. This will change we we hook this up to
print a description of the token that matched. This will change when we hook this up to
a parser, but for now, this works fine. Notice that the variable `yytext` contains
the string matched by our regular expression. This variable is set by the code flex
generates, and we can use it to get the extract text that matched a regex. This is

We are told an error occured. Excellent! We're not really sure what our tree looks like, though.
We just know there's __stuff__ in the list of definitions. We will revisit our trees
in the next post, adding code to print them and to verify that our programs make some sense.
