=======
Consider rewriting the tokenizer. These are rough ideas at this point.
I may or may not do this as described.
* Use flex. Generate them from ./autogen.sh and include them in the
source package, but do not commit them.
* Make it possible to run the lexer (tokenizer) over a while file
* Make it possible to run the lexer (tokenizer) over a whole file
such that the following things would be possible:
* Rewrite fix-qdf in C++ so that there is no longer a runtime perl
dependency
* Create a way to filter content streams that could be used to
preserve the content stream exactly including spaces but also to
do things like replace everything between a detected set of
markers. This is to support form flattening. Ideally, it should
be possible to use this programmatically on broken files.
* Make it possible to replace all strings in a file lexically even
on badly broken files. Ideally this should work files that are
lacking xref, have broken links, etc., and ideally it should work
