+
+Buffer scalar containing the chunk currently under consideration of the
+text currently being lexed.  This is always a plain string scalar (for
+which C<SvPOK> is true).  It is not intended to be used as a scalar by
+normal scalar means; instead refer to the buffer directly by the pointer
+variables described below.
+
+The lexer maintains various C<char*> pointers to things in the
+C<PL_parser-E<gt>linestr> buffer.  If C<PL_parser-E<gt>linestr> is ever
+reallocated, all of these pointers must be updated.  Don't attempt to
+do this manually, but rather use L</lex_grow_linestr> if you need to
+reallocate the buffer.
+
+The content of the text chunk in the buffer is commonly exactly one
+complete line of input, up to and including a newline terminator,
+but there are situations where it is otherwise.  The octets of the
+buffer may be intended to be interpreted as either UTF-8 or Latin-1.
+The function L</lex_bufutf8> tells you which.  Do not use the C<SvUTF8>
+flag on this scalar, which may disagree with it.
+
+For direct examination of the buffer, the variable
+L</PL_parser-E<gt>bufend> points to the end of the buffer.  The current
+lexing position is pointed to by L</PL_parser-E<gt>bufptr>.  Direct use
+of these pointers is usually preferable to examination of the scalar
+through normal scalar means.
+

+Direct pointer to the end of the chunk of text currently being lexed, the

++ SvCUR(PL_parser-E<gt>linestr)>.  A NUL character (zero octet) is
+always located at the end of the buffer, and does not count as part of
+the buffer's contents.
+
+=for apidoc AmxU|char *|PL_parser-E<gt>bufptr
+
+Points to the current position of lexing inside the lexer buffer.
+Characters around this point may be freely examined, within
+the range delimited by C<SvPVX(L</PL_parser-E<gt>linestr>)> and
+L</PL_parser-E<gt>bufend>.  The octets of the buffer may be intended to be
+interpreted as either UTF-8 or Latin-1, as indicated by L</lex_bufutf8>.
+
+Lexing code (whether in the Perl core or not) moves this pointer past
+the characters that it consumes.  It is also expected to perform some
+bookkeeping whenever a newline character is consumed.  This movement
+can be more conveniently performed by the function L</lex_read_to>,
+which handles newlines appropriately.
+
+Interpretation of the buffer's octets can be abstracted out by
+using the slightly higher-level functions L</lex_peek_unichar> and
+L</lex_read_unichar>.

+of Unicode characters.  If not, they should be interpreted as Latin-1

+
+In UTF-8 mode, it is not guaranteed that the lexer buffer actually
