Just thinking aloud here. Maybe if we design the appropriate 
BCSymbolSet for each case, we can just have one method (or while-loop 
in John's snippet). I haven't studied his code that closely, though, so 
I might be way of. However in any case, the combination 
BCScanner/BCSymbolSet to replace NSScanner/NCCharacterSet is definitely 
something to keep in mind.
