Initialize some PGE rulesubs and put them into the Hash state['rulesub']:

string next_token( Hash state )
Parse and return a single token from the input stream. A token can either be TOKEN_EOF, if the state['stack';'input'] is empty; it can be TOKEN_STRING for a quoted string; TOKEN_WORD for something that is a potential macro name; and TOKEN_SIMPLE for any single character that is not a part of any of the previous types. | Next_token () return the token type and the token data.
