            WHAT THIS OBJECT REPRESENTS
                This object represents a simple tokenizer for C++ source code. 

            BUFFERING
                This object is allowed to buffer data from the input stream.
                Thus if you clear it or switch streams (via calling set_stream())
                any buffered data will be lost.

            TOKENS
                When picking out tokens the cpp_tokenizer will always extract the 
                longest token it can.  For example, if faced with the string 
                "AAA" it will consider the three As to be a single IDENTIFIER 
                token not three smaller IDENTIFIER tokens.

                Also note that no characters in the input stream are discarded.
                They will all be returned in the text of some token.  
                Additionally, each character will never be returned more than once.  
                This means that if you concatenated all returned tokens it would exactly
                reproduce the contents of the input stream.

                The tokens are defined as follows:

                END_OF_FILE
                    This token represents the end of file.  It doesn't have any
                    actual characters associated with it.

                KEYWORD
                    This token matches a C++ keyword.  (This includes the preprocessor
                    directives).

                COMMENT
                    This token matches a C++ comment.

                SINGLE_QUOTED_TEXT
                    This token matches the text of any single quoted literal.
                    For example, 'a' would be a match and the text of this token
                    would be the single character a.

                DOUBLE_QUOTED_TEXT  
                    This token matches the text of any double quoted string.
                    For example, "C++" would be a match and the text of this token
                    would be the three character string C++.

                WHITE_SPACE
                    This is a multi character token.  It is defined as a sequence of
                    one or more spaces, carrage returns, newlines, and tabs.  I.e. It 
                    is composed of characters from the following string " \r\n\t".

                IDENTIFIER
                    This token matches any C++ identifier that isn't matched by any 
                    of the above tokens.   (A C++ identifier being a string matching
                    the regular expression [_$a-zA-Z][_$a-zA-Z0-9]*).

                NUMBER
                    This token matches any C++ numerical constant.

                OTHER
                    This matches anything that isn't part of one of the above tokens. 
                    It is always a single character.
