It is entierly possible to use one parser/lexer "engine" for multiple
languages - for example a yacc/byacc/bison LALR(1) parser is a simple
state machine - all the language stuff is in the "data" part.
But switching lexer and parser's look-ahead "token" at language
boundaries is a tad tricky. But that is probably not what is being discussed
here.
