Hi Lukas!

Just wanted to send a quick message about some things I'll try to do. :-)
Guess I'm a little late to "return," heh -- and I'm finishing a new system
build now and have to migrate stuff over :-/, but I'll get to these PHP
things soon as I can, on whatever system...

This is a pretty simple fix, AFAICT.  Besides the tokenizer thing, I believe
the Warning about unterminated /* ... comments is still missing because of
the same re2c issue(s).  I'd take care of both.

I'll send a possible DVAL_TO_LVAL, etc. solution (consistent/reliable
overflow across platforms) for consideration as soon as I whip up and test
it...  There's also a couple other inconsistencies and behavior changes with
the existing code that I don't think have been mentioned.

On a related note, and concerning the int-operand bitwise operators (where I
first brought up the casting changes) and %, I'll have a possible update for
them on 32-bit systems, to hopefully mostly eliminate overflow issues with
them, regardless of DVAL_TO_LVAL method.  See also Bug #46579 (% integer
overflow - no error message).

Will also try to fix some other small Bugs...  Thought there was one I was
going to mention, but can't remember ATM.  #45184 (algorithm to limit random
numbers to a certain range is flawed) *seems* like it might be another I can
look at (assigned to Pierre), though I may be missing something.  Well, I'll
do what little bit I can besides what I mentioned here!
