/**
* Token-id is a unique identifier of a particular token.
* It's not a classical token, because it doesn't contain the image of the token.
* The token image is handled separately in general.
* The common place where the tokens should be defined is
* the appropriate token-context for which they are being
* created.
* The fact that TokenID extends TokenCategory
* helps to treat the colorings more easily by working with
* TokenCategory only (it can be TokenID too).
