There was a problem hiding this comment.
I don't think this check is necessary, is it?

Thanks for doing this! Can you share the input data corpus you used? Tooling/code you wrote? I'd like to include it in the build process. |

I have a WIP fuzz branch that includes a few items in the corpus as well as a new 'fuzz' target in the Makefile. Regarding the above questions about defensive checking, you will see if you look at that branch that there is code that does round-tripping using a call to parseLine. Without those checks, go-fuzz reports a crasher. |

I've merged my branch where this piece is refactored. Thanks for the effort! I'll take a look at your branch when I have time. Really keen to add fuzz testing to this project. |

This is a result of my first pass at go-fuzz'ing the lexer
