# EXAMPLE:
#
# The input
#       '(hip (hop hur-ray))'
#
# passed to tokenize_string() returns the token list
#       ['(', 'hip', '(', 'hop', 'hur-ray', ')', ')']
#
# When this is passed to parse_expr() it returns the expression
#       ['hip', ['hop', 'hur-ray']]
# plus an empty token list (because there are no tokens left.
#
# 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.
