HEAD

org.eclipse.compare.internal.TokenComparator is of general interest (e.g. as a nested comparator as in bug 78063 comment 14) and should be made API (post 3.3).

It's possible for clients to get a TokenComparator via TextMergeViewer.createTokenComparator(String), but that's a hack.

I'm not sure why there's a second constructor with a boolean shouldEscape. It's not used anywhere, and I guess you should remove it.
