+    This utility class is used to track the state of the BlockParser and

+    a list. Each time a state is set, that state is appended to the end of the
+    list. Each time a state is reset, that state is removed from the end of
+    the list.
+
+    Therefore, each time a state is set for a nested block, that state must be
+    reset when we back out of that level of nesting or the state could be
+    corrupted.

+    While all the methods of a list object are available, only the three
