Has anyone had success with lexer-generators other than lex under Plan
9?  I'm taking a compilers class this semester and I'd like to do as
much work under Plan 9 as possible.

I looked around online and found re2c, which looked interesting except
it's written in C++.

For languages sufficiently like C, is regexp(2) suitable?
