# When you call a method in Ruby make sure that said method is defined as
# an instance method in the `Oga::XML::Lexer` class.
#
# ## Machine Transitions
#
# To transition from one machine to another always use `fnext` instead of
# `fcall` and `fret`. This removes the need for the code to keep track of a
# stack.
