/*
 * Introduction
 * ************
 *
 * The following notes assume that you are familiar with the YAML specification
 * (http://yaml.org/spec/cvs/current.html).  We mostly follow it, although in
 * some cases we are less restrictive that it requires.
 *
 * The process of transforming a YAML stream into a sequence of events is
 * divided on two steps: Scanning and Parsing.
 *
 * The Scanner transforms the input stream into a sequence of tokens, while the
 * parser transform the sequence of tokens produced by the Scanner into a
 * sequence of parsing events.
 *
 * The Scanner is rather clever and complicated. The Parser, on the contrary,
 * is a straightforward implementation of a recursive-descendant parser (or,
 * LL(1) parser, as it is usually called).
 *
 * Actually there are two issues of Scanning that might be called "clever", the
 * rest is quite straightforward.  The issues are "block collection start" and
 * "simple keys".  Both issues are explained below in details.
 *
 * Here the Scanning step is explained and implemented.  We start with the list
 * of all the tokens produced by the Scanner together with short descriptions.
 *
 * Now, tokens:
 *
 *      STREAM-START(encoding)          # The stream start.
 *      STREAM-END                      # The stream end.
 *      VERSION-DIRECTIVE(major,minor)  # The '%YAML' directive.
 *      TAG-DIRECTIVE(handle,prefix)    # The '%TAG' directive.
 *      DOCUMENT-START                  # '---'
 *      DOCUMENT-END                    # '...'
 *      BLOCK-SEQUENCE-START            # Indentation increase denoting a block
 *      BLOCK-MAPPING-START             # sequence or a block mapping.
 *      BLOCK-END                       # Indentation decrease.
 *      FLOW-SEQUENCE-START             # '['
 *      FLOW-SEQUENCE-END               # ']'
 *      FLOW-MAPPING-START              # '{'
 *      FLOW-MAPPING-END                # '}'
 *      BLOCK-ENTRY                     # '-'
 *      FLOW-ENTRY                      # ','
 *      KEY                             # '?' or nothing (simple keys).
 *      VALUE                           # ':'
 *      ALIAS(anchor)                   # '*anchor'
 *      ANCHOR(anchor)                  # '&anchor'
 *      TAG(handle,suffix)              # '!handle!suffix'
 *      SCALAR(value,style)             # A scalar.
 *
 * The following two tokens are "virtual" tokens denoting the beginning and the
 * end of the stream:
 *
 *      STREAM-START(encoding)
 *      STREAM-END
 *
 * We pass the information about the input stream encoding with the
 * STREAM-START token.
 *
 * The next two tokens are responsible for tags:
 *
 *      VERSION-DIRECTIVE(major,minor)
 *      TAG-DIRECTIVE(handle,prefix)
 *
 * Example:
 *
 *      %YAML   1.1
 *      %TAG    !   !foo
 *      %TAG    !yaml!  tag:yaml.org,2002:
 *      ---
 *
 * The corresponding sequence of tokens:
 *
 *      STREAM-START(utf-8)
 *      VERSION-DIRECTIVE(1,1)
 *      TAG-DIRECTIVE("!","!foo")
 *      TAG-DIRECTIVE("!yaml","tag:yaml.org,2002:")
 *      DOCUMENT-START
 *      STREAM-END
 *
 * Note that the VERSION-DIRECTIVE and TAG-DIRECTIVE tokens occupy a whole
 * line.
 *
 * The document start and end indicators are represented by:
 *
 *      DOCUMENT-START
 *      DOCUMENT-END
 *
 * Note that if a YAML stream contains an implicit document (without '---'
 * and '...' indicators), no DOCUMENT-START and DOCUMENT-END tokens will be
 * produced.
 *
 * In the following examples, we present whole documents together with the
 * produced tokens.
 *
 *      1. An implicit document:
 *
 *          'a scalar'
 *
 *      Tokens:
 *
 *          STREAM-START(utf-8)
 *          SCALAR("a scalar",single-quoted)
 *          STREAM-END
 *
 *      2. An explicit document:
 *
 *          ---
 *          'a scalar'
 *          ...
 *
 *      Tokens:
 *
 *          STREAM-START(utf-8)
 *          DOCUMENT-START
 *          SCALAR("a scalar",single-quoted)
 *          DOCUMENT-END
 *          STREAM-END
 *
 *      3. Several documents in a stream:
 *
 *          'a scalar'
 *          ---
 *          'another scalar'
 *          ---
 *          'yet another scalar'
 *
 *      Tokens:
 *
 *          STREAM-START(utf-8)
 *          SCALAR("a scalar",single-quoted)
 *          DOCUMENT-START
 *          SCALAR("another scalar",single-quoted)
 *          DOCUMENT-START
 *          SCALAR("yet another scalar",single-quoted)
 *          STREAM-END
 *
 * We have already introduced the SCALAR token above.  The following tokens are
 * used to describe aliases, anchors, tag, and scalars:
 *
 *      ALIAS(anchor)
 *      ANCHOR(anchor)
 *      TAG(handle,suffix)
 *      SCALAR(value,style)
 *
 * The following series of examples illustrate the usage of these tokens:
 *
 *      1. A recursive sequence:
 *
 *          &A [ *A ]
 *
 *      Tokens:
 *
 *          STREAM-START(utf-8)
 *          ANCHOR("A")
 *          FLOW-SEQUENCE-START
 *          ALIAS("A")
 *          FLOW-SEQUENCE-END
 *          STREAM-END
 *
 *      2. A tagged scalar:
 *
 *          !!float "3.14"  # A good approximation.
 *
 *      Tokens:
 *
 *          STREAM-START(utf-8)
 *          TAG("!!","float")
 *          SCALAR("3.14",double-quoted)
 *          STREAM-END
 *
 *      3. Various scalar styles:
 *
 *          --- # Implicit empty plain scalars do not produce tokens.
 *          --- a plain scalar
 *          --- 'a single-quoted scalar'
 *          --- "a double-quoted scalar"
 *          --- |-
 *            a literal scalar
 *          --- >-
 *            a folded
 *            scalar
 *
 *      Tokens:
 *
 *          STREAM-START(utf-8)
 *          DOCUMENT-START
 *          DOCUMENT-START
 *          SCALAR("a plain scalar",plain)
 *          DOCUMENT-START
 *          SCALAR("a single-quoted scalar",single-quoted)
 *          DOCUMENT-START
 *          SCALAR("a double-quoted scalar",double-quoted)
 *          DOCUMENT-START
 *          SCALAR("a literal scalar",literal)
 *          DOCUMENT-START
 *          SCALAR("a folded scalar",folded)
 *          STREAM-END
 *
 * Now it's time to review collection-related tokens. We will start with
 * flow collections:
 *
 *      FLOW-SEQUENCE-START
 *      FLOW-SEQUENCE-END
 *      FLOW-MAPPING-START
 *      FLOW-MAPPING-END
 *      FLOW-ENTRY
 *      KEY
 *      VALUE
 *
 * The tokens FLOW-SEQUENCE-START, FLOW-SEQUENCE-END, FLOW-MAPPING-START, and
 * FLOW-MAPPING-END represent the indicators '[', ']', '{', and '}'
 * correspondingly.  FLOW-ENTRY represent the ',' indicator.  Finally the
 * indicators '?' and ':', which are used for denoting mapping keys and values,
 * are represented by the KEY and VALUE tokens.
 *
 * The following examples show flow collections:
 *
 *      1. A flow sequence:
 *
 *          [item 1, item 2, item 3]
 *
 *      Tokens:
 *
 *          STREAM-START(utf-8)
 *          FLOW-SEQUENCE-START
 *          SCALAR("item 1",plain)
 *          FLOW-ENTRY
 *          SCALAR("item 2",plain)
 *          FLOW-ENTRY
 *          SCALAR("item 3",plain)
 *          FLOW-SEQUENCE-END
 *          STREAM-END
 *
 *      2. A flow mapping:
 *
 *          {
 *              a simple key: a value,  # Note that the KEY token is produced.
 *              ? a complex key: another value,
 *          }
 *
 *      Tokens:
 *
 *          STREAM-START(utf-8)
 *          FLOW-MAPPING-START
 *          KEY
 *          SCALAR("a simple key",plain)
 *          VALUE
 *          SCALAR("a value",plain)
 *          FLOW-ENTRY
 *          KEY
 *          SCALAR("a complex key",plain)
 *          VALUE
 *          SCALAR("another value",plain)
 *          FLOW-ENTRY
 *          FLOW-MAPPING-END
 *          STREAM-END
 *
 * A simple key is a key which is not denoted by the '?' indicator.  Note that
 * the Scanner still produce the KEY token whenever it encounters a simple key.
 *
 * For scanning block collections, the following tokens are used (note that we
 * repeat KEY and VALUE here):
 *
 *      BLOCK-SEQUENCE-START
 *      BLOCK-MAPPING-START
 *      BLOCK-END
 *      BLOCK-ENTRY
 *      KEY
 *      VALUE
 *
 * The tokens BLOCK-SEQUENCE-START and BLOCK-MAPPING-START denote indentation
 * increase that precedes a block collection (cf. the INDENT token in Python).
 * The token BLOCK-END denote indentation decrease that ends a block collection
 * (cf. the DEDENT token in Python).  However YAML has some syntax pecularities
 * that makes detections of these tokens more complex.
 *
 * The tokens BLOCK-ENTRY, KEY, and VALUE are used to represent the indicators
 * '-', '?', and ':' correspondingly.
 *
 * The following examples show how the tokens BLOCK-SEQUENCE-START,
 * BLOCK-MAPPING-START, and BLOCK-END are emitted by the Scanner:
 *
 *      1. Block sequences:
 *
 *          - item 1
 *          - item 2
 *          -
 *            - item 3.1
 *            - item 3.2
 *          -
 *            key 1: value 1
 *            key 2: value 2
 *
 *      Tokens:
 *
 *          STREAM-START(utf-8)
 *          BLOCK-SEQUENCE-START
 *          BLOCK-ENTRY
 *          SCALAR("item 1",plain)
 *          BLOCK-ENTRY
 *          SCALAR("item 2",plain)
 *          BLOCK-ENTRY
 *          BLOCK-SEQUENCE-START
 *          BLOCK-ENTRY
 *          SCALAR("item 3.1",plain)
 *          BLOCK-ENTRY
 *          SCALAR("item 3.2",plain)
 *          BLOCK-END
 *          BLOCK-ENTRY
 *          BLOCK-MAPPING-START
 *          KEY
 *          SCALAR("key 1",plain)
 *          VALUE
 *          SCALAR("value 1",plain)
 *          KEY
 *          SCALAR("key 2",plain)
 *          VALUE
 *          SCALAR("value 2",plain)
 *          BLOCK-END
 *          BLOCK-END
 *          STREAM-END
 *
 *      2. Block mappings:
 *
 *          a simple key: a value   # The KEY token is produced here.
 *          ? a complex key
 *          : another value
 *          a mapping:
 *            key 1: value 1
 *            key 2: value 2
 *          a sequence:
 *            - item 1
 *            - item 2
 *
 *      Tokens:
 *
 *          STREAM-START(utf-8)
 *          BLOCK-MAPPING-START
 *          KEY
 *          SCALAR("a simple key",plain)
 *          VALUE
 *          SCALAR("a value",plain)
 *          KEY
 *          SCALAR("a complex key",plain)
 *          VALUE
 *          SCALAR("another value",plain)
 *          KEY
 *          SCALAR("a mapping",plain)
 *          VALUE
 *          BLOCK-MAPPING-START
 *          KEY
 *          SCALAR("key 1",plain)
 *          VALUE
 *          SCALAR("value 1",plain)
 *          KEY
 *          SCALAR("key 2",plain)
 *          VALUE
 *          SCALAR("value 2",plain)
 *          BLOCK-END
 *          KEY
 *          SCALAR("a sequence",plain)
 *          VALUE
 *          BLOCK-SEQUENCE-START
 *          BLOCK-ENTRY
 *          SCALAR("item 1",plain)
 *          BLOCK-ENTRY
 *          SCALAR("item 2",plain)
 *          BLOCK-END
 *          BLOCK-END
 *          STREAM-END
 *
 * YAML does not always require to start a new block collection from a new
 * line.  If the current line contains only '-', '?', and ':' indicators, a new
 * block collection may start at the current line.  The following examples
 * illustrate this case:
 *
 *      1. Collections in a sequence:
 *
 *          - - item 1
 *            - item 2
 *          - key 1: value 1
 *            key 2: value 2
 *          - ? complex key
 *            : complex value
 *
 *      Tokens:
 *
 *          STREAM-START(utf-8)
 *          BLOCK-SEQUENCE-START
 *          BLOCK-ENTRY
 *          BLOCK-SEQUENCE-START
 *          BLOCK-ENTRY
 *          SCALAR("item 1",plain)
 *          BLOCK-ENTRY
 *          SCALAR("item 2",plain)
 *          BLOCK-END
 *          BLOCK-ENTRY
 *          BLOCK-MAPPING-START
 *          KEY
 *          SCALAR("key 1",plain)
 *          VALUE
 *          SCALAR("value 1",plain)
 *          KEY
 *          SCALAR("key 2",plain)
 *          VALUE
 *          SCALAR("value 2",plain)
 *          BLOCK-END
 *          BLOCK-ENTRY
 *          BLOCK-MAPPING-START
 *          KEY
 *          SCALAR("complex key")
 *          VALUE
 *          SCALAR("complex value")
 *          BLOCK-END
 *          BLOCK-END
 *          STREAM-END
 *
 *      2. Collections in a mapping:
 *
 *          ? a sequence
 *          : - item 1
 *            - item 2
 *          ? a mapping
 *          : key 1: value 1
 *            key 2: value 2
 *
 *      Tokens:
 *
 *          STREAM-START(utf-8)
 *          BLOCK-MAPPING-START
 *          KEY
 *          SCALAR("a sequence",plain)
 *          VALUE
 *          BLOCK-SEQUENCE-START
 *          BLOCK-ENTRY
 *          SCALAR("item 1",plain)
 *          BLOCK-ENTRY
 *          SCALAR("item 2",plain)
 *          BLOCK-END
 *          KEY
 *          SCALAR("a mapping",plain)
 *          VALUE
 *          BLOCK-MAPPING-START
 *          KEY
 *          SCALAR("key 1",plain)
 *          VALUE
 *          SCALAR("value 1",plain)
 *          KEY
 *          SCALAR("key 2",plain)
 *          VALUE
 *          SCALAR("value 2",plain)
 *          BLOCK-END
 *          BLOCK-END
 *          STREAM-END
 *
 * YAML also permits non-indented sequences if they are included into a block
 * mapping.  In this case, the token BLOCK-SEQUENCE-START is not produced:
 *
 *      key:
 *      - item 1    # BLOCK-SEQUENCE-START is NOT produced here.
 *      - item 2
 *
 * Tokens:
 *
 *      STREAM-START(utf-8)
 *      BLOCK-MAPPING-START
 *      KEY
 *      SCALAR("key",plain)
 *      VALUE
 *      BLOCK-ENTRY
 *      SCALAR("item 1",plain)
 *      BLOCK-ENTRY
 *      SCALAR("item 2",plain)
 *      BLOCK-END
