   I agree.

The new tell operation is now in the trunk.

   It looks good to me.

   The easiest way to implement it in the token reader would probably
   be to replace the "reader->state = X" statements with calls to a
   private function (e.g. enter_state) that would also store the
   token's starting position.  Then in flush_token, store this value
   when emitting a token.

Many thanks for the hints :)
