Note: Notice the third case there! keyword actually looks ahead one
character to make sure it is not a letter, number, or underscore. The goal is
to help with parsers like this:
The trouble is that spaces may chomp zero characters (to handle expressions
like [1,2] and [ 1 , 2 ]) and in this case, it would mean letters could
be parsed as let ters and then wonder where the equals sign is! Check out the
token docs if you need to customize this!
