         *   Tokenizing rules.  The subclass can override this to specify a
         *   list that defines different tokenization rules.  Each entry in the
         *   master rules_ list is one rule.  Each rule is a list consisting of
         *   the name of the rule; the pattern to match for the rule; the token
         *   type (an 'enum token') to use when the rule is matched; the value
         *   computation rule; and the value test rule.
         *
         *   The name of a rule is just an arbitrary string to identify the
         *   rule.  This can be used to insert new rules in order relative to
         *   known existing rules, or to delete known existing rules.
         *
         *   If the value computation rule is nil, we'll just use the matching
         *   text as the token value.  If the value rule is a string, we'll use
         *   the string as a replacement pattern (with rexReplace).  If it's a
         *   property ID, we'll invoke the property of self with the following
         *   arguments:
         *
         *   txt, typ, toks
         *
         *   'txt' is the matched text; 'typ' is the token type from the rule;
         *   and 'toks' is a vector to which the new token or tokens are to be
         *   added.  The routine is responsible for adding the appropriate
         *   values to the result list.  Note that the routine can add more
         *   than one token to the results if desired.
         *
         *   If the value test rule is non-nil, it must be either a method or a
         *   function; we'll call the method or function to test to see if the
         *   matched value is valid.  We'll call the method (on self) with the
         *   matching text as the argument; if the method returns true, the
         *   rule matches, otherwise the rule fails, and we'll continue looking
         *   for another rule as though we hadn't matched the rule's regular
         *   expression in the first place.  This can be used for rules that
         *   require more than a simple regular expression match; for example,
         *   the value test can be used to look up the match in a dictionary,
         *   so that the rule only matches tokens that are defined in the
         *   dictionary.
