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