I’ve tried context.processbuffer but I am afraid it’s not what I am

What I am looking for is roughly what’s described in Taco’s presentation
https://meeting.contextgarden.net/2014/talks/2014-09-12-taco-luatex/luatextalk.pdf
A way to decompose some input into tokens which represent either normal
text, csnames etc… I had a try to this token library in LuaTeX but I
could not find examples of how to use it. I suspect that buffers
mechanism use it somehow.
you can pick up stuff from the input so in principle you can start your
input with a token scanner, but then you not only end up with lots of
'tokens' but also need to interpret them ... and that is actually what
tex is quite effecient in and good at, so the question is: what do you
want to achieve ... there might be better ways
