1. I decided to build a token-based parser to substitute the string based parser.

2. Add a method (check_seq_of) to StyioContext to recognize if a token occurs repeatly.

3. Add StyioTokenMap to map derived tokens to fundamental tokens.

1. I realized that styio needs a way to express a backward filling operation. The code below illustrates a way to extract certain intermediate values from a sequence of data operations.

(a, b) << @("some") => {
    onething -> a
    another -> b
}

2. I realized that the previous syntax of verbatim string conflicts with the syntax of resources and may lead to ambiguity. Therefore, I removed verbatim string and hope there will be a better way to fix this problem.

@"verbatim.string"
@("file")

For now, I think backtick ` might a good idea.

`\this \is \a \vertatim \string \n`

3. Resource identifiers @("") are designed to represent files and network addresses, and they must be accessible.

4. I added a map for binary operations to eliminate switch cases in C++ code.

5. I added a command line option --debug , which controls whether to display debug information.

6. I decided to write weekly reports to record what has been changed this week.
