+/* Impact of the stream parsing feature on the lexer:
+ *
+ * YAJL support stream parsing.  That is, the ability to parse the first
+ * bits of a chunk of JSON before the last bits are available (still on
+ * the network or disk).  This makes the lexer more complex.  The
+ * responsibility of the lexer is to handle transparently the case where
+ * a chunk boundary falls in the middle of a token.  This is
+ * accomplished is via a buffer and a character reading abstraction. 
+ *
+ * Overview of implementation
+ *
+ * When we lex to end of input string before end of token is hit, we
+ * copy all of the input text composing the token into our lexBuf.
+ * 
+ * Every time we read a character, we do so through the readChar function.
+ * readChar's responsibility is to handle pulling all chars from the buffer
+ * before pulling chars from input text
