  62    after the invocation.  The result is completely expanded; it
  63    contains no further macro invocations.

  72
  73    We need this expand-one-token-at-a-time interface in order to
  74    accomodate GDB's C expression parser, which may not consume the
  75    entire string.  When the user enters a command like
  76
  77       (gdb) break *func+20 if x == 5
  78
  79    the parser is expected to consume `func+20', and then stop when it
  80    sees the "if".  But of course, "if" appearing in a character string
  81    or as part of a larger identifier doesn't count.  So you pretty
  82    much have to do tokenization to find the end of the string that
  83    needs to be macro-expanded.  Our C/C++ tokenizer isn't really
  84    designed to be called by anything but the yacc parser engine.  */
