I think too, such an example might be good to help newbies. -- I saw that
your example uses the style, which I think is better, where the lexer and
the parser shares a header rather than the old traditional style in books
like the one by Aho et al, where the lexer sources are included directly
from the parser sources.

Akim can probably tell you how to get it into the manual.
