This absence of the ability to push back more characters has always struck
me as incredibly bad.  It is true that one character of look ahead is
sufficient for many things, but not all.  Also it makes the code to use it
a bit awkward since you have to always use the lookahead function and then
do input1 to actually advance, ignoring the result of input1.
