%% When more characters are need inside a comment, string or quoted
%% atom, which can become rather long, instead of pushing the
%% characters read so far back onto RestChars to be reread, a special
%% reentry token is returned indicating the middle of a construct.
%% The token is the start character as an atom, '%', '"' and '\''.
