I would hope that there's come Cocoa class for parsing source text
into tokens etc, but don't know of anything.
For what it's worth, this may help:
http://zathras.de/sourcecode.htm#UKSyntaxColoredTextDocument
It shows you how to re-examine only the parts that actually changed,
and not the entire file each time. It also uses custom attributes to
indicate ranges of syntax-specific stuff, so you can detect whether
you just chopped the ending indicator of a quoted string or whatever.
