rules might be used for modelling prototypes (for a specific application
domain). I should emphasize that implementing a lexer by rules isn't the
most efficient technique, and blatantly disregarding available tools such as
lex or antlr3.

It does, however, illustrate the option of avoiding a potentially large set
of (parsing) rules by a set of facts that are "interpreted" by a single
generic rule expressing the basic behaviour of a FSM.
