Why?  Lex could handle state dependent keywords the last time I used it.

I have a parser which chews down the complete output, and then decides
where all my cargo ships go, makes maps, designs ships, assigns production,
etc.  It is 700 lines of c code.  I used the advanced lexical analyzer
named "scanf," which is perfectly suited for the task.  Give it a try.

Before anyone asks, if you want a program like this, write your own.
