public interface SeparatorHandler

This interface declares the methods a Tokenizer needs to deal with separators.

Separators are single characters that are either not very important in the tokenizing process or are sufficiently characterized by their token image. Examples are opening and closing parentheses, commas, semicolons etc. Their main feature is that they separate other tokens in the same way as whiterspaces and comments.
