23 * Token-id is a unique identifier of a particular token.
24 * It's not a classical token, because it doesn't contain the image of the token.
25 * The token image is handled separately in general.
26 * The common place where the tokens should be defined is
27 * the appropriate token-context for which they are being
28 * created.
29 * The fact that <tt>TokenID</tt> extends <tt>TokenCategory</tt>
30 * helps to treat the colorings more easily by working with
31 * <tt>TokenCategory</tt> only (it can be <tt>TokenID</tt> too).
