Tokens, and the layout algorithm that turns indentation into INDENT/DEDENT.
docs/02-syntax.md §2.8: “logos for tokens; a hand-written
layout algorithm producing explicit INDENT/DEDENT/NEWLINE tokens (Python’s approach), with
brackets suppressing layout so multi-line calls work.”
Two rules that are easy to get subtly wrong and are therefore stated here:
- Brackets suppress layout. Inside
(/[/{no newline is significant, so a call may span lines without the parser ever seeing it. - Blank and comment-only lines have no indentation. They emit nothing at all, so a comment at column 0 inside an indented block does not close the block.
