/*
 * Replacement for strtok() (a.k.a. poor man's flex)
 *
 * Splits a string into tokens, returning one token per call, then NULL
 * when no more tokens exist in the given string.
 *
 * The calling convention is similar to that of strtok, but with more
 * frammishes.
 *
 * s -          string to parse, if NULL continue parsing the last string
 * whitespace - set of whitespace characters that separate tokens
 * delim -      set of non-whitespace separator characters (or NULL)
 * quote -      set of characters that can quote a token (NULL if none)
 * escape -     character that can quote quotes (0 if none)
 * e_strings -  if TRUE, treat E'...' syntax as a valid token
 * del_quotes - if TRUE, strip quotes from the returned token, else return
 *              it exactly as found in the string
 * encoding -   the active character-set encoding
 *
 * Characters in 'delim', if any, will be returned as single-character
 * tokens unless part of a quoted token.
 *
 * Double occurrences of the quoting character are always taken to represent
 * a single quote character in the data.  If escape isn't 0, then escape
 * followed by anything (except \0) is a data character too.
 *
 * The combination of e_strings and del_quotes both TRUE is not currently
 * handled.  This could be fixed but it's not needed anywhere at the moment.
 *
 * Note that the string s is _not_ overwritten in this implementation.
 *
 * NB: it's okay to vary delim, quote, and escape from one call to the
 * next on a single source string, but changing whitespace is a bad idea
 * since you might lose data.
