But that's the whole issue: This isn't how the scrubber works. It's not
uniformly "different classes" (there's not really a proper concept of tokens
either). Boundaries between what may be numbers or identifiers are different
from boundaries between operators and alike. The original report that I started
this effort from was (iirc) something like

    invoke (1) (2)

where the (pretty obviously) two arguments become just one.
