2023-11-01	Lexer now returns more descriptive tokens	Aryadev Chavali
	More useful tokens, in particular for each opcode possible. This makes parsing a simpler task to reason as now we're just checking against an enum rather than doing a string check in linear time. It makes more sense to do this at the tokeniser as the local data from the buffer will be in the cache most likely as the buffer is contiguously allocated. While it will always be slow to do linear time checks on strings, when doing it at the parser we're having to check strings that may be allocated in a variety of different places. This means caching becomes a harder task, but with this approach we're less likely to have cache misses as long as the buffer stays there.
