  // Context-dependent lexing mode. Quoted modes are internal and should not
  // be set explicitly. In the value mode we don't treat certain characters
  // (e.g., '+', '=') as special so that we can use them in the variable
  // values, e.g., 'foo = g++'. In contrast, in the variable mode, we restrict
  // certain character (e.g., '/') from appearing in the name. The values mode
  // is like value but recogizes ',' as special (used in contexts where we
  // need to list multiple values). The attribute mode is also like value
  // except it doesn't treat '{' and '}' as special (so we cannot have name
  // groups in attributes). The eval mode is used in the evaluation context.
  //
  // A number of modes are "derived" from the value/values mode by recognizing
  // a few extra characters: case_patterns (values plus '|').
  //
  // Note that the normal, value/values and derived, as well as eval modes
  // split words separated by the pair character (to disable pairs one can
  // pass '\0' as a pair character).
  //
  // The alternative modes must be set manually. The value/values and derived
  // modes automatically expires after the end of the line. The attribute mode
  // expires after the closing ']'. The variable mode expires after the word
  // token. And the eval mode expires after the closing ')'.
  //
  // Note that normally it is only safe to switch mode when the current token
  // is not quoted (or, more generally, when you are not in the double-quoted
  // mode) unless the mode treats the double-quote as a separator (e.g.,
  // variable name mode). Failed that your mode (which now will be the top of
  // the mode stack) will prevent proper recognition of the closing quote.
  //

  // Extendable/inheritable enum-like class.
