Pretty damn hard. All identifiers, (variable names) are reduced to
a single token. Actually, that's not true. The meaning of the names
is removed an replaced with numeric identifiers that are unique to
each file. Here's a tokenised portion of 32V (bio.c):

   56:   struct id10 * 
   57:   id13 ( id14 , id15 ) 
   58:   id16 id14 ; 
   59:   id17 id15 ; 
   60:   { 
   61:   register struct id10 * id18 ; 
   62:   
   63:   id18 = id19 ( id14 , id15 ) ; 
   64:   if ( id18 ->id20 & id21 ) { 
   65:   #ifdef id1 
   66:   id9 . id5 ++ ; 
   67:   #endif 
   68:   return( id18 ) ; 
   69:   } 
   70:   id18 ->id20 |= id22 ; 
   71:   id18 ->id23 = id24 ; 
   72:   ( * id25 [ id26 ( id14 ) ] . id27 ) ( id18 ) ; 
   73:   #ifdef id1 
   74:   id9 . id3 ++ ; 
   75:   #endif 
   76:   id28 ( id18 ) ; 
   77:   return( id18 ) ; 
   78:   } 

Now go and check the actual source and work out which function it is!
