Very interesting! I'd be interested to know the speed of the lexers - it looks like yacc is being called in there so I'm guessing they're doing codegen of some form to produce a runtime loadable lexer that uses PCRE, but I could be wrong! If only it were available for use outside Komodo ;) Of course if composable lexers are easily used in Tentacle then the state management stuff becomes much less of a problem for the individual lexer?
