Using it seems pretty bad for performance:
```rb
require "benchmark/ips"
require "prism"
require "ripper"
codes = Dir["**/*.rb"].map { File.read(it) }
Benchmark.ips do |x|
x.report("prism") { codes.each { Prism::Translation::Ripper.lex(it) } }
x.report("ripper") { codes.each { Ripper.lex(it) } }
x.compare!
end
```
```

Warming up --------------------------------------
prism 1.000 i/100ms
ripper 1.000 i/100ms
Calculating -------------------------------------
prism 0.319 (± 0.0%) i/s (3.14 s/i) - 2.000 in 6.276154s
ripper 0.647 (± 0.0%) i/s (1.54 s/i) - 4.000 in 6.182662s
Comparison:
ripper: 0.6 i/s
prism: 0.3 i/s - 2.03x slower

`vernier` tells me it does `method_missing` even for explicitly defined methods like `location`.
