Tokenization is what it's doing the first time it's run and it's just
sitting there working for a while. A lot of people mistakingly think it's
compiling. What it's doing it taking all of the calculator function (sin,
cos, rand, ect.) and turning them into tokens representing their function so
the calc doesn't interpret them as words.
