I'm trying out the ffi help stuff.

1. It looks like 1.234f numeric constants is not lexed

2. characters constants can be included in #if preprocessor steps it looks,

3. character constants seam to follow L?'(\\.|[^\\'])+'

And not sure I answered this question as intended.  The `guild' command looks for a scm file with
basename of the first argument in a subdirectory scripts/ in LOAD_PATH.  So `guild compile-ffi foo.ffi'
will execute `scripts/compile-ffi.scm' with argument `foo.ffi'.
