//
// Bracket structure (particularly braces) is key to isolating broken regions
// of code and preventing parsing from going "off the rails".
//
// For correct C++ code, brackets are well-nested and identifying pairs and
// therefore blocks is simple. In broken code, brackets are not properly nested.
// We cannot match them all and must choose which pairs to form.
//
// Rather than have the grammar-based parser make these choices, we pair
// brackets up-front based on textual features like indentation.
// This mirrors the way humans read code, and so is likely to produce the
// "correct" interpretation of broken code.
//
// This interpretation then guides the parse: a rule containing a bracket pair
// must match against paired bracket tokens.
