--- XML LOM Utilities.
--
-- This implements some useful things on [LOM](http://matthewwild.co.uk/projects/luaexpat/lom.html) documents, such as returned by `lxp.lom.parse`.
-- In particular, it can convert LOM back into XML text, with optional pretty-printing control.
-- It is based on stanza.lua from [Prosody](http://hg.prosody.im/trunk/file/4621c92d2368/util/stanza.lua)
--
--     > d = xml.parse "<nodes><node id='1'>alice</node></nodes>"
--     > = d
--     <nodes><node id='1'>alice</node></nodes>
--     > = xml.tostring(d,'','  ')
--     <nodes>
--        <node id='1'>alice</node>
--     </nodes>
--
-- Can be used as a lightweight one-stop-shop for simple XML processing; a simple XML parser is included
-- but the default is to use `lxp.lom` if it can be found.

-- a number value can be given without a space. If the flag is marked
-- as having a value, then a space-separated value is also accepted (`-i hello`),
-- see the `flags_with_values` argument).
--
-- Multiple short args can be combined like so: ( `-abcd`).
--
-- When specifying the `flags_valid` parameter, its contents can also contain
-- aliasses, to convert short/long flags to the same output name. See the
-- example below.
--
-- Note: if a flag is repeated, the last value wins.
-- @tparam {string} args an array of strings (default is the global `arg`)
-- @tab flags_with_values any flags that take values, either list or hash
-- table e.g. `{ out=true }` or `{ "out" }`.
-- @tab flags_valid (optional) flags that are valid, either list or hashtable.
-- If not given, everything
-- will be accepted(everything in `flags_with_values` will automatically be allowed)
-- @return a table of flags (flag=value pairs)
-- @return an array of parameters
-- @raise if args is nil, then the global `args` must be available!

--      { "l", "a", "b"})      -- list of allowed flags (value ones will be added)

-- local valid = {
--     long = "l",           -- if 'l' is specified, it is reported as 'long'
--     new = { "n", "old" }, -- here both 'n' and 'old' will go into 'new'

-- Module: 'pl.lexer'
--------------------
--- Lexical scanner for creating a sequence of tokens from text.
-- `lexer.scan(s)` returns an iterator over all tokens found in the
-- string `s`. This iterator returns two values, a token type string
-- (such as 'string' for quoted string, 'iden' for identifier) and the value of the
-- token.
--
-- Versions specialized for Lua and C are available; these also handle block comments
-- and classify keywords as 'keyword' tokens. For example:
--
--    > s = 'for i=1,n do'
--    > for t,v in lexer.lua(s)  do print(t,v) end
--    keyword for
--    iden    i
--    =       =
--    number  1
--    ,       ,
--    iden    n
--    keyword do

--- A template preprocessor.
-- Originally by [Ricki Lake](http://lua-users.org/wiki/SlightlyLessSimpleLuaPreprocessor)
--
-- There are two rules:
--
--  * lines starting with # are Lua
--  * otherwise, `$(expr)` is the result of evaluating `expr`
--
-- Example:
--
--    #  for i = 1,3 do
--       $(i) Hello, Word!
--    #  end
--    ===>
--    1 Hello, Word!
--    2 Hello, Word!
--    3 Hello, Word!
--
-- Other escape characters can be used, when the defaults conflict
-- with the output language.
