+Note [Lexing strings]
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+After verifying if a string is lexically valid with Alex, we still need to do
+some post processing of the string, namely:
+1. Collapse string gaps
+2. Resolve escape characters
+
+The problem: 'lexemeToString' is more performant than manually reading
+characters from the StringBuffer. However, that completely erases the position
+of each character, which we need in order to report the correct position for
+error messages (e.g. when resolving escape characters).
+
+So what we'll do is do two passes. The first pass is optimistic; just convert
+to a plain String and process it. If this results in an error, we do a second
+pass, this time where each character is annotated with its position. Now, the
+error has all the information it needs.
