Even if <code>main</code> observes <code>g != nil</code> and exits its loop,
there is no guarantee that it will observe the initialized

      Previously, it would report a final empty token before stopping, which was usually not desired.
      Callers that do want to report a final empty token can do so by returning <code>[]byte{}</code> rather than <code>nil</code>.
