[ragel-users] combining ragel and lemon

[Adrian Thurston]

Hi Rajeev,

Those are entry points you can use during initialization to start 
parsing somewhere other than "main". You can also use them to jump to 
other parts from action code. To remove them from output use the noentry 
write option to the write data command:

write data noentry;
