Since Scheme is such a simple language, I can probably implement the lexer and parser in one component using parsing expression grammar. It's not like there's a lot of complex tokenizing that will require a separate lexer and parser component a la flex/yacc.

f86e56f adds support for character literals as hex scalar values. This finishes character constant lexing.
