/*
 * pg_strtok --- retrieve next "token" from a string.
 *
 * Works kinda like strtok, except it never modifies the source string.
 * (Instead of storing nulls into the string, the length of the token
 * is returned to the caller.)
 * Also, the rules about what is a token are hard-wired rather than being
 * configured by passing a set of terminating characters.
 *
 * The string is assumed to have been initialized already by stringToNode.
 *
 * The rules for tokens are:
 *  * Whitespace (space, tab, newline) always separates tokens.
 *  * The characters '(', ')', '{', '}' form individual tokens even
 *    without any whitespace around them.
 *  * Otherwise, a token is all the characters up to the next whitespace
 *    or occurrence of one of the four special characters.
 *  * A backslash '\' can be used to quote whitespace or one of the four
 *    special characters, so that it is treated as a plain token character.
 *    Backslashes themselves must also be backslashed for consistency.
 *    Any other character can be, but need not be, backslashed as well.
 *  * If the resulting token is '<>' (with no backslash), it is returned
 *    as a non-NULL pointer to the token but with length == 0.  Note that
 *    there is no other way to get a zero-length token.
 *
 * Returns a pointer to the start of the next token, and the length of the
 * token (including any embedded backslashes!) in *length.  If there are
 * no more tokens, NULL and 0 are returned.
 *
 * NOTE: this routine doesn't remove backslashes; the caller must do so
 * if necessary (see "debackslash").
 *
 * NOTE: prior to release 7.0, this routine also had a special case to treat
 * a token starting with '"' as extending to the next '"'.  This code was
 * broken, however, since it would fail to cope with a string containing an
 * embedded '"'.  I have therefore removed this special case, and instead
 * introduced rules for using backslashes to quote characters.  Higher-level
 * code should add backslashes to a string constant to ensure it is treated
 * as a single token.
