I remember discussing this with you and Hartmut, but I don't recall the 
outcome. I think we decided xpressive needed some features before it 
could be usable as a lexer, but I don't recall what they are. If you 
remind me, I can revisit this.

Certainly, a small, fast, DFA-based back-end for xpressive would be 
ideal. It's been a while since I had that kind of free time, though.
