 We are about to start with the most elementary piece of code that will handle
 our language: the lexer!  Also known as a scanner, a lexer will take a stream
 of text (i.e.  your source files) and split it into *tokens* (or *lexemes*),
-which are kind of "words" for programming languages. Langkit relies on Quex to
-generate an efficient lexer but hides the gory details and lets you just
-write a Python description for the lexer. Fire up your favorite code editor and
-open ``language/lexer.py``.
