ASCII group spans
The ASCII code defines four asymmetric group character pairs:
< >
{ }
[ ]
( ) .
These characters establish data-code groups as syntactic
spans that typically include nesting. Examples include
LISP and SGML.
Design
This package holds responsibility for parsing mechanical
data-code groups formed by asymmmetric character pairs.
