[jdom-interest] Crimson / Piccolo

I dont think it does it on it's own (not sure), more info @

<snip>
In order to implement parsing functionality within JFlex rules, additional
variables are used to combine similar states and to facilitate state
transitions. The
 prevState variable is used to save the current state so that we can enter
another state and then return. This provides subroutine-like
functionality, used to enter
 and exit states used to parse constructs such as entity references which
can appear in many contexts.
