Ian Lesperance 78fc8cfd63 Explicitly depend on SimpleLanguage.INSTANCE (#34)
The use of `Language.findInstance()` implicitly depended on the fact that
`SimpleLanguage.INSTANCE` was referenced at some earlier point in time. In this
case, that happens because the instantiation of `SimpleParserDefinition`
triggers the instantiation of `COMMENTS`, which relies on
`SimpleTypes.COMMENT`.

When basing one's work on this sample project, however, one may run into
issues. Specifically, the absence of a custom comment token type will mean a
failure to correctly instantiate the singleton language object. Making the
dependence on `SimpleLanguage.INSTANCE` explicit prevents that issue from
occurring.
