 Backlog
 -------
 
+* Fix inconsistent generation of START_TOKEN call in lexer error state
 * Complete the golang grammar

-* Add API for iterating over a document's tokens
-* Add API for locating a node given a character position
-* Add API for locating a node's parents and siblings
 * Make parse error handling more robust
 * Add special lexical behavior for indentation-aware languages
 * Speed up grammar compilation
