`new lex.Lexer(str, filename, options)`

Constructor for a Lexer class. This is not meant to be used directly unless you know what you are doing.

options may contain the following properties:

interpolated (boolean): if the Lexer is created as a child lexer for inline tag interpolation (e.g. #[p Hello]). Defaults to false.
startingLine (integer): the real line number of the first line in the input. It is also used for inline tag interpolation. Defaults to 1.
