+# A TokenStream is a list of tokens, gathered during the parse of some entity
+# (say a method). Entities populate these streams by being registered with the
+# lexer. Any class can collect tokens by including TokenStream. From the
+# outside, you use such an object by calling the start_collecting_tokens
+# method, followed by calls to add_token and pop_token.
