It's lexTokenAlr and friends in compiler/parser/Lexer.x

It's a while since I looked at it, but IIRC it's not as clean to read as
your specification code was, as GHC needs a function that it can call
that will just give it the next token. That means that we need to keep
some state for what we've recently seen, and if we want to return
multiple tokens then we can only return the first one, and need to store
the rest to be returned by subsequent calls


Thanks
