I was about to make a similar comment myself.  Been using tokenizer
quite a bit this week myself <g>

Another comment on the docs is that around half the examples do not
indicate the expected result, which makes it hard for me when look
between the examples to quicky find the variation I am after.  The
examples are well chosen to use a similar data set, but trying to work
out which iterators will skip whitespace, which only return values,
feels very 'try it and see'.

I feel a little guilty lending criticisms though, as the library worked
straight-out-the-box and is that wonderful combination of simple to use
and powerful.  Nice job <g>
