Has anybody developed tools for Icon similar to Unix lex and yacc?  Something
for describing tokens and generating a tokenizer, and something for defining
syntax and generating a parser?  I've been working on a project where C is
used for character handling, but I think Icon would be better.  The problem
with using Icon compared with C is that some of the operations can be done
at a higher level with C because lex and yacc take care of many of the details.
