  61    contains no further macro invocations.

  70
  71    We need this expand-one-token-at-a-time interface in order to
  72    accomodate GDB's C expression parser, which may not consume the
  73    entire string.  When the user enters a command like
  74
  75       (gdb) break *func+20 if x == 5
  76
  77    the parser is expected to consume `func+20', and then stop when it
  78    sees the "if".  But of course, "if" appearing in a character string
  79    or as part of a larger identifier doesn't count.  So you pretty
  80    much have to do tokenization to find the end of the string that
  81    needs to be macro-expanded.  Our C/C++ tokenizer isn't really
  82    designed to be called by anything but the yacc parser engine.  */
