    // The function less() is used by the implementation of the support
    // function lex::less(). Its functionality is equivalent to flex' function 
    // yyless(): it returns an iterator positioned to the nth input character 
    // beyond the current start iterator (i.e. by assigning the return value to 
    // the placeholder '_end' it is possible to return all but the first n 
    // characters of the current token back to the input stream. 
    //
    //  This Phoenix actor is invoked whenever the function lex::less(n) is 
    //  used inside a lexer semantic action:

    //  The example shows how to limit the length of the matched identifier to 
    //  four characters.

    //  Note: the function lex::less() has no effect if used on it's own, you 
    //        need to use the returned result in order to make use of its
