Serial = sequentially assigned.  For some definition of token, first  
token in file gets serial number 1, second gets 2, etc.  If complete  
file has N tokens, last token serial number is N.  It's almost the  
same as byte offset, just (a) more compact and (b) more stable under  
semantically null edits.  FWIW.

Use byte offsets for simplicity!
