  # State machine

  # The states are:

  # - :sudo_opt:   A leading-dash option to a precommand, whether it takes an
  #                argument or not.  (Example: sudo's "-u" or "-i".)
  # - :sudo_arg:   The argument to a precommand's leading-dash option,
  #                when given as a separate word; i.e., "foo" in "-u foo" (two
  #                words) but not in "-ufoo" (one word).
  # - :regular:    "Not a command word", and command delimiters are permitted.
  #                Mainly used to detect premature termination of commands.
  # - :always:     The word 'always' in the «{ foo } always { bar }» syntax.
  #
  # When the kind of a word is not yet known, $this_word / $next_word may contain
  # multiple states.  For example, after "sudo -i", the next word may be either
  # another --flag or a command name, hence the state would include both :start:
  # and :sudo_opt:.
  #
  # The tokens are always added with both leading and trailing colons to serve as
  # word delimiters (an improvised array); [[ $x == *:foo:* ]] and x=${x//:foo:/}
  # will DTRT regardless of how many elements or repetitions $x has..
  #
  # Handling of redirections: upon seeing a redirection token, we must stall
  # the current state --- that is, the value of $this_word --- for two iterations
  # (one for the redirection operator, one for the word following it representing
  # the redirection target).  Therefore, we set $in_redirection to 2 upon seeing a
  # redirection operator, decrement it each iteration, and stall the current state
  # when it is non-zero.  Thus, upon reaching the next word (the one that follows
  # the redirection operator and target), $this_word will still contain values
  # appropriate for the word immediately following the word that preceded the
  # redirection operator.
  #
  # The "the previous word was a redirection operator" state is not communicated
  # to the next iteration via $next_word/$this_word as usual, but via
  # $in_redirection.  The value of $next_word from the iteration that processed
  # the operator is discarded.
