-- A miniature stand-in for the Scintillua lexer module, just enough for the
-- syntax-highlight checks to drive every path through the filter without the
-- real collection installed. load() hands out one of the toy lexers below by
-- name and detect() recognises a single filename suffix, so a check can tell
-- the detection path apart from the extension path by which lexer ends up
-- running. Anything the filter treats as optional, a lexer that will not
-- load or one that raises while lexing, has a name here too.

-- Tokens come back the way Scintillua returns them, one flat list of a tag
-- name and the position just past the token it names. Letter runs are
-- keywords, digit runs are numbers, a single quoted run carries a dotted tag
-- so the dotted first component lookup gets exercised, and any other byte is
-- whitespace, which maps to no css class.
