     *      an object, then it has "filename", "saveState", and "allowInlineConfig" properties.

     * @param {boolean} [filenameOrOptions.allowInlineConfig] Allow/disallow inline comments' ability to change config once it is set. Defaults to true if not supplied.
     *      Useful if you want to validate JS without comments overriding rules.
