   * to backup the stream to some extent.  An implementation of this
   * interface is used in the TokenManager implementation generated by
   * JavaCCParser.
   *
   * All the methods except backup can be implemented in any fashion. backup
   * needs to be implemented correctly for the correct operation of the lexer.
   * Rest of the methods are all used to get information like line number,
   * column number and the String that constitutes a token and are not used
   * by the lexer. Hence their implementation won't affect the generated lexer's
   * operation.
