Summary0000319: lex_demo in extras/lex/samples fails to start
Descriptionrunning the lex_demo yields:

Uncaught Mercury exceptiopn:
Software Error: string.unsafe_index: illegal sequence.

The fault is due to the anybut/1 clause in lex.m:730
0x01 `..` 0xff
Using this range will raise the mentioned exception.
Steps To Reproduce* checkout master branch
* build+install liblex
* build+run lex_demo
Additional InformationThe applied patch fixes the problem,
but the resulting code will only parse ASCII characters (the nonpatched code would have parsed only ISO-Latin characters, not the full Unicode range)
