This is the state in which the stringparser begins its
life.

> 	private final static int PARSE_HAS_BEGUN_STATE=1;

When the first valid character has been encountered,
the machine enters this state.

> 	private final static int PARSE_COMPLETED_STATE=2;	

When an invalid character has been encountered (which
cannot be a part of the stringnode), the machine
enters a parse-completed state and returns.

> 	private final static int PARSE_IGNORE_STATE=3;

When quotes are encountered, the machine ignores
characters which would normally throw it to
PARSE_COMPLETED_STATE.
