 # This module is an integral part of the Lexer.
 # It defines the string slurping behavior - finding the string and non string parts in interpolated
 # strings, translating escape sequences in strings to their single character equivalence.
 #
 # PERFORMANCE NOTE: The various kinds of slurping could be made even more generic, but requires
 # additional parameter passing and evaluation of conditional logic.
 # TODO: More detailed performance analysis of excessive character escaping and interpolation.
