Thanks Martin. Some more things that I would like to know (from the doc 
string in the future):

- What variables are used when searching for comments?
- What do I have to put in OLDSTATE to make it parse comments and 
strings correctly? - assuming that I know about previous comments and 
strings and if FROM is inside a comment or string.
