  // Lexer
  // -----
  //
  // The lexer, or the tokenizer reads the input string character by character
  // and derives a token left-right. To be as efficient as possible the lexer
  // prioritizes the common cases such as identifiers. It also works with
  // character codes instead of characters as string comparisons was the
  // biggest bottleneck of the parser.
  //
  // If `options.comments` is enabled, all comments encountered will be stored
  // in an array which later will be appended to the chunk object. If disabled,
  // they will simply be disregarded.
  //
  // When the lexer has derived a valid token, it will be returned as an object
  // containing its value and as well as its position in the input string (this
  // is always enabled to provide proper debug messages).
  //
