1 /*
2 * Program to simulate the phenomenon known as graphme to color synesthesia.
3 * This program is written as an interpreter that recognizes and responds to:
4 * - exit | terminate the program
5 * - remap | redefine the mapping from letters to colors
6 * - WORD OR PHRASE | simply show the word or phrase in synesthetic color
