This is precisely what I'm trying to figure out.

What do I have to change in my _custom_ lexer generated by ocamllex to  
recognize keywords defined by just a string in camlp4 grammars. I'm  
not using LIDENT, etc. as I have my own set of tokens.

I understand that I need to downcase the keyword (or upcase) but I  
don't understand where I need to do this.

The filter module nested in the token module seems like a good  
candidate. What functions of the lexer or filter are accessed when a  
string keyword (e.g. "delay") is found in the camlp4 grammar?

	Thanks, Joel
