Oh lol, silly me - forgot to add what triggered it.

This was caused because I passed a buffer instead of a String to marked. Passing a string fixed it.

This can be fixed by either supporting buffers (by parsing or just toStringing them), or throwing a better error before passing it into Lexer.lex. If you'd like I can make a PR.

👍

This same thing confused me too. Thanks for the fix/usage-note @benjamingr

👍 just bit me - needs obvious error for when a non-string is passed in
