    `TokenMaker`

      public class JavaScriptTokenMaker
      extends AbstractJFlexCTokenMaker

  Scanner for JavaScript files. Its states could be simplified, but are kept the way they are to keep a degree of similarity (i.e. copy/paste) between it and HTML/JSP/PHPTokenMaker. This should cause no difference in performance.

  This implementation was created using JFlex 1.4.1; however, the generated file was modified for performance. Memory allocation needs to be almost completely removed to be competitive with the handwritten lexers (subclasses of `AbstractTokenMaker`, so this class has been modified so that Strings are never allocated (via yytext()), and the scanner never has to worry about refilling its buffer (needlessly copying chars around). We can achieve this because RText always scans exactly 1 line of tokens at a time, and hands the scanner this line as an array of characters (a Segment really). Since tokens contain pointers to char arrays instead of Strings holding their contents, there is no need for allocating new memory for Strings.

  The actual algorithm generated for scanning has, of course, not been modified.

  If you wish to regenerate this file yourself, keep in mind the following:

  - The generated `JavaScriptTokenMaker.java` file will contain two definitions of both `zzRefill` and `yyreset`. You should hand-delete the second of each definition (the ones generated by the lexer), as these generated methods modify the input buffer, which we'll never have to do.
  - You should also change the declaration/definition of zzBuffer to NOT be initialized. This is a needless memory allocation for us since we will be pointing the array somewhere else anyway.
  - You should NOT call `yylex()` on the generated scanner directly; rather, you should use `getTokenList` as you would with any other `TokenMaker` instance.

        `getClosestStandardTokenTypeForInternalType` in interface `TokenMaker`
      Overrides:
        `getClosestStandardTokenTypeForInternalType` in class `TokenMakerBase`

      Returns:
        The start and end strings to add to a line to "comment" it out. A `null` value for either means there is no string to add for that part. A value of `null` for the array means this language does not support commenting/uncommenting lines.
