[CEDET-devel] Token access has moved.

[Eric M. L. <er...@si...>]

The token access code has now all moved.  The new semantic-token.el
file just has all the good ol' code from before.

You can read in the commentary of that file a little bit about how I
think it could be organized.

Next up is to prototype a new API.  This is a bit of a hybrid of what
David had proposed a while back.

A generic token may be created like this:

(semantic-token name type-symbol &rest plist)
;; Note, doc-string could be found in the plist, and properties and
         overlay are set up after creation.

Special tokens could be created like this:

(semantic-token-new-variable name type default-value &rest extra-specifiers)

(semantic-token-new-function name type arg-list &rest extra-specifiers)

(semantic-token-new-type name type part-list parents &rest extra-specifiers)

(semantic-token-new-include name system-flag &rest plist)

(semantic-token-new-package name detail &rest plist)

where the extra-specifiers are a plist.  In the existing storage
mechanism, they would be put into the extra-specifier slot, and
reduced (removing nils).

I think the special token constructors would be useful for language
authors who need encouragement to fill in all the right pieces.
