     * Creates a new highlight lexer
     * @param lexerDefinition -
     *  Structure composed of Tokens Types this lexer will identify.
     *
     *  In the simple case the structure is an array of TokenTypes.
     *  In the case of `IHighlightMultiModeLexerDefinition` the structure is an object with two properties:
     *    1. a "modes" property where each value is an array of TokenTypes.
     *    2. a "defaultMode" property specifying the initial lexer mode.
     *
     *  for example:
     *
     *  ```
     *    {
     *        modes : {
     *          modeX : [Token1, Token2],
     *          modeY : [Token3, Token4]
     *        },
     *
     *        defaultMode : "modeY"
     *    }
     *  ```
     *
     *  A lexer with `IHighlightMultiModesDefinition` is simply multiple Lexers where only one Lexer(mode) can be active at the same time.
     *  This is useful for lexing languages where there are different lexing rules depending on context.
     *
     *  The current lexing mode is selected via a "mode stack".
     *  The last (peek) value in the stack will be the current mode of the lexer.
     *  Defining entering and exiting lexer modes is done using the "push_mode" and "pop_mode" properties
     *  of the `config` parameter.
     *
     *  - The Lexer will match the **first** pattern that matches, Therefor the order of Token Types is significant.
     *    For example when one pattern may match a prefix of another pattern.
     *
     *    Note that there are situations in which we may wish to order the longer pattern after the shorter one.
     *    For example: [keywords vs Identifiers](https://github.com/SAP/chevrotain/tree/master/examples/lexer/keywords_vs_identifiers).
     * @param config The lexer configuration file
