    StringBuffer should not contain initial byte-order mark (BOM) · 9e939403
    Thomas Miedema authored
    Summary:
    Just skipping over a BOM, but leaving it in the Stringbuffer, is not
    sufficient. The Lexer calls prevChar when a regular expression starts
    with '^' (which is a shorthand for '\n^'). It would never match on the
    first line, since instead of '\n', prevChar would still return '\xfeff'.
