        // When adding more parser context flags, consider which is the more common case that the

        // grammar specification.
        //
        // An important thing about these context concepts.  By default they are effectively inherited
        // while parsing through every grammar production.  i.e. if you don't change them, then when
        // you parse a sub-production, it will have the same context values as the parent production.
        // This is great most of the time.  After all, consider all the 'expression' grammar productions
        // and how nearly all of them pass along the 'in' and 'yield' context values:
        //
        // EqualityExpression[In, Yield] :
        //      RelationalExpression[?In, ?Yield]
        //      EqualityExpression[?In, ?Yield] == RelationalExpression[?In, ?Yield]

        //      EqualityExpression[?In, ?Yield] !== RelationalExpression[?In, ?Yield]
        //
        // Where you have to be careful is then understanding what the points are in the grammar
        // where the values are *not* passed along.  For example:
        //
        // SingleNameBinding[Yield,GeneratorParameter]
        //      [+GeneratorParameter]BindingIdentifier[Yield] Initializer[In]opt
        //      [~GeneratorParameter]BindingIdentifier[?Yield]Initializer[In, ?Yield]opt
        //
        // Here this is saying that if the GeneratorParameter context flag is set, that we should
        // explicitly set the 'yield' context flag to false before calling into the BindingIdentifier
        // and we should explicitly unset the 'yield' context flag before calling into the Initializer.
        // production.  Conversely, if the GeneratorParameter context flag is not set, then we
        // should leave the 'yield' context flag alone.
        //
        // Getting this all correct is tricky and requires careful reading of the grammar to
        // understand when these values should be changed versus when they should be inherited.
        //
        // Note: it should not be necessary to save/restore these flags during speculative/lookahead
        // parsing.  These context flags are naturally stored and restored through normal recursive
        // descent parsing and unwinding.

        //
        // 1) An error that occurred during scanning.  For example, an unterminated literal, or a
        //    character that was completely not understood.
