The problem is that our scanner is rather complicated (lexical analysis
for PHP is not easy), and I'd rather not have the logic of the "bean
counting" as you refer to it mixed throughout with the logic of the
token generation. I've considered modifying YY_INPUT to keep count
automatically, but then you have to worry about the scanner looking
ahead and then backtracking, calls to yyunput, etc.
