Hi Jon,

This patch set fixes public/private handling inside comments.

The current logic has currently an issue: it breaks nested
structs if private: is not followed by public:.

It also solves a currently undefined behavior: now,
public/private are applied only to the current and
inner statements. So, if one does:

  struct {
	struct {
		/* private: */
		int a;
		struct {
			int b;
		};
	};
	int c;
  };

The output will be:

  struct {
	int c;
  };

Besides making sensing itself, the new behavior solves
an issue when struct_group() macros are used, as the
private from one struct_group won't propagate to other
ones nor to the struct encapsulating one or more
struct_group().

This series start with 2 unittests to detect the problem.
If you apply those two patches and run the unit test,
you'll be able to see the issue.

After applying the changes, it renames the unit test,
making it test directly the code there, instead of the
current wrapper at kdoc_re, and add more tests meant
to check the tokenizer itself.

As commented previously, I'm now working on a patchset
using the tokenizer for NestedMatch. I have already
some code here, but not properly tested yet.

Anyway, the idea is to keep submitting it in small
chunks, to make it easier to review.
