        //      [~GeneratorParameter]BindingIdentifier[?Yield]Initializer[In, ?Yield]opt

        // Here this is saying that if the GeneratorParameter context flag is set, that we should

        // 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.

        // can be broken down into three categories:
        //
        // 1) An error that occurred during scanning.  For example, an unterminated literal, or a
        //    character that was completely not understood.
        //
        // 2) A token was expected, but was not present.  This type of error is commonly produced
        //    by the 'parseExpected' function.
        //
        // 3) A token was present that no parsing function was able to consume.  This type of error
        //    only occurs in the 'abortParsingListOrMoveToNextToken' function when the parser
        //    decides to skip the token.
        //
        // In all of these cases, we want to mark the next node as having had an error before it.

        // parsing.  During lookahead parsing, we will often create a node.  That node will have
        // this value attached, and then this value will be set back to 'false'.  If we decide to
        // rewind, we must get back to the same value we had prior to the lookahead.
