Hi, Michael.

Yes, there are other ways in which YY_USES_REJECT gets turned on. 
However the beta2 version of tokenizer.l doesn't use them - I tried
removing '%option yylineno' and the flex output no longer defines
YY_USES_REJECT.  The problem is, this removes lineno()!  The lexer
independently counts newlines, so perhaps with appropriate tweaking
lineNum() could be used.

While I was in there I significantly simplified some of the rules in
tokenizer.l. Probably not very significant though.
