//! The lexer: ECMAScript source text → a stream of [`Token`]s.
//!
//! This is a hand-written, single-pass, allocation-light tokenizer. It is the
//! first stage of the pipeline and deliberately self-contained: it depends
//! only on `core`/`alloc` and produces tokens carrying [`Span`]s into the
//! original source.
//!
//! ## What it handles
//!
//! - All ECMAScript punctuators and assignment operators, optional chaining
//!   (`?.`) and nullish coalescing (`??`/`??=`).
//! - Keywords vs identifiers (Unicode identifier start/continue via a compact
//!   classifier), private names (`#field`).
//! - Numeric literals: decimal, hex/octal/binary, exponents, `BigInt` (`n`),
//!   and numeric separators (`1_000`).
//! - String literals with the full escape grammar, including line
//!   continuations.
//! - Template literals — including nested substitutions and nested templates —
//!   via an internal brace-kind stack, so the lexer is fully self-contained
//!   (no parser feedback needed for the common cases).
//! - The regex-vs-division ambiguity, resolved with the standard
//!   previous-significant-token heuristic.
//! - Line terminators and comments, recording for each token whether a line
//!   terminator preceded it (the signal the parser needs for Automatic
//!   Semicolon Insertion).
//!
//! ## What it defers
//!
//! Full template re-lexing driven by the parser (needed only for a few
//! pathological `}`-after-substitution cases the brace-stack cannot
//! disambiguate on its own) lands with the parser in Phase B.
