	// - adjust spaces between tokens in a single cell using a set of rules
	// - adjust the leading space in the "assign" and "comment" cells on each
	//   line to vertically align with neighboring lines.
	// All of these steps operate in-place on the given tokens, so a caller
	// may collect a flat sequence of all of the tokens underlying an AST
	// and pass it here and we will then indirectly modify the AST itself.
	// Formatting must change only whitespace. Specifically, that means
	// changing the SpacesBefore attribute on a token while leaving the
	// other token attributes unchanged.

	// we'll compare it to the most recent number of openers and decrease the
	// dedent level by one each time we pass an indent level remembered
	// earlier.
	// The "indent stack" used here allows for us to recognize degenerate
	// input where brackets are not symmetrical within lines and avoid
	// pushing things too far left or right, creating confusion.
