I think that will return "lparen" for '(' etc.

Tokens can have multiple spellings for each token, for example an  
identifier could be 'foo' or 'bar', but even simple things like && can  
be spelled "&&" or "and" (in C++).  There are also a variety of  
digraphs etc.  If you want to get the original spelling from the  
source code (minus escaped newlines, trigraphs etc), use  
Preprocessor::getSpelling(token)
