I think Johannes' point is that Token doesn't really have a role 
in the IToken hierarchy, since it doesn't actually implement 
anything, and the interface already specifies all the abstract 
methods.

What it does do is act as a container for handy constants related 
to tokens, but there's no particular benefit to having it be a 
base class as far as I can see.  (Probably it ought to be made a 
static class now, not just an abstract class.  Although that's a 
V2-only-ism.)

(Although on the subject of vestigial parts, what's with 
Lexer.TOKEN_dot_EOF?)
