Is there a reason not to use a full-fledged flex lexer?

I'd be willing to take a crack at such a thing, but I'm working 80-hour
weeks through the end of June and likely wouldn't be able to put in any
time on it till then. So I definitely couldn't promise anything for 8.4,
but if putting it off till 8.5 works, sign me up.
