  16.      _t_o_k_e_n   expects an integer which is used to mark specific sections in
  17.              input data so that when it is returned from the feedback buffer
  18.              the data is easier to decipher.

  21.      ppppaaaasssssssstttthhhhrrrroooouuuugggghhhh passes a single 16-bit integer through the Geometry Pipeline.
  22.      Use it in feedback mode to parse the returned information.
  23.  
  24.      For example, you can use ppppaaaasssssssstttthhhhrrrroooouuuugggghhhh between every pair of points that is
  25.      being transformed and clipped by the Geometry Engines. If a point is
  26.      clipped out, two ppppaaaasssssssstttthhhhrrrroooouuuugggghhhh tokens appear in a row in the output buffer.
