class Block:
    r"""
    Represents a single block of text embedded in
    another file.  If dsl_name is None, the block represents
    verbatim text, raw original text from the file, in
    which case "input" will be the only non-false member.
    If dsl_name is not None, the block represents a Clinic
    block.

    input is always str, with embedded \n characters.
    input represents the original text from the file;
    if it's a Clinic block, it is the original text with
    the body_prefix and redundant leading whitespace removed.

    dsl_name is either str or None.  If str, it's the text
    found on the start line of the block between the square
    brackets.

    signatures is a list.
    It may only contain clinic.Module, clinic.Class, and
    clinic.Function objects.  At the moment it should
    contain at most one of each.

    output is either str or None.  If str, it's the output
    from this block, with embedded '\n' characters.

    indent is a str.  It's the leading whitespace
    that was found on every line of input.  (If body_prefix is
    not empty, this is the indent *after* removing the
    body_prefix.)

    "indent" is different from the concept of "preindent"
    (which is not stored as state on Block objects).
    "preindent" is the whitespace that
    was found in front of every line of input *before* the
    "body_prefix" (see the Language object).  If body_prefix
    is empty, preindent must always be empty too.

    To illustrate the difference between "indent" and "preindent":

    Assume that '_' represents whitespace.
    If the block processed was in a Python file, and looked like this:
      ____#/*[python]
      ____#__for a in range(20):
      ____#____print(a)
      ____#[python]*/
    "preindent" would be "____" and "indent" would be "__".

    # Now entering the parameters section.  The rules, formally stated:
    #
    #   * All lines must be indented with spaces only.
    #   * The first line must be a parameter declaration.
    #   * The first line must be indented.
    #       * This first line establishes the indent for parameters.
    #       * We'll call this number of spaces P (for "parameter").
    #   * Thenceforth:
    #       * Lines indented with P spaces specify a parameter.
    #       * Lines indented with > P spaces are docstrings for the previous
    #         parameter.
    #           * We'll call this number of spaces D (for "docstring").
    #           * All subsequent lines indented with >= D spaces are stored as
    #             part of the per-parameter docstring.
    #           * All lines will have the first D spaces of the indent stripped
    #             before they are stored.
    #           * It's illegal to have a line starting with a number of spaces X
    #             such that P < X < D.
    #       * A line with < P spaces is the first line of the function
    #         docstring, which ends processing for parameters and per-parameter
    #         docstrings.
    #           * The first line of the function docstring must be at the same
    #             indent as the function declaration.
    #       * It's illegal to have any line in the parameters section starting
    #         with X spaces such that F < X < P.  (As before, F is the indent
    #         of the function declaration.)
    #
    # Also, currently Argument Clinic places the following restrictions on groups:
    #   * Each group must contain at least one parameter.
    #   * Each group may contain at most one group, which must be the furthest
    #     thing in the group from the required parameters.  (The nested group
    #     must be the first in the group when it's before the required
    #     parameters, and the last thing in the group when after the required
    #     parameters.)
    #   * There may be at most one (top-level) group to the left or right of
    #     the required parameters.
    #   * You must specify a slash, and it must be after all parameters.
    #     (In other words: either all parameters are positional-only,
    #      or none are.)
    #
    #  Said another way:
    #   * Each group must contain at least one parameter.
    #   * All left square brackets before the required parameters must be
    #     consecutive.  (You can't have a left square bracket followed
    #     by a parameter, then another left square bracket.  You can't
    #     have a left square bracket, a parameter, a right square bracket,
    #     and then a left square bracket.)
    #   * All right square brackets after the required parameters must be
    #     consecutive.
    #
    # These rules are enforced with a single state variable:
    # "parameter_state".  (Previously the code was a miasma of ifs and
    # separate boolean state variables.)  The states are defined in the
