The lexer ignores whitespace like this:
on whitespace on non-ws spontaneously
IN_START --> IN_WHITESPACE --> JSON_SKIP --> IN_START
^ |
\__/ on whitespace
This accumulates a whitespace token in state IN_WHITESPACE, only to
throw it away on the transition via JSON_SKIP to the start state.
Wasteful. Go from IN_START to IN_START on whitespace directly,
dropping the whitespace character.
