Hi!

This is not a bug. And if we have a malicious comitter, we have much
bigger problems than generated lexers. Fortunately, there's exactly zero
evidence that it is of any concern to us.

Again, if you do not trust people who are working on most sensitive part
of the engine with being able to observe minimal rules of sane coding,
you have bigger problems than lexers. Not that there are hundreds of
them committing any way, this year we had exactly 1 (one) big lexer
commit so far, last year there were three. And it's not that hard to
scan through them either, if you're interested.
