With a couple of quick edits, I think getting this in one would be good!

I think this should end in : and the following bits be an itemised list? Though "State operator" may well be best left in a subsubsection "State operator\n\nOptionally, a start state can be ..." etc.

I updated some text too, but I tried leaving state operator as an itemized list.
It seemed okay with the list being in a paragraph? Let me know what you think.

I was looking to fix #597 by documenting the limitation of not having spaces in token names
there was one place in the major differences section where it mentions token names, but doesn't define them explicitly.
I figured it might be good to just add a node on lex syntax. Here was a very quickly thrown together overview of the lex syntax to test out whether we like that idea, and if it's worth expanding upon.
I didn't go through and document quirks though like regexes with trailing spaces or anything, not sure if we need to.
