Feels like the complete opposite s-expressions which are the easiest possible thing to parse, this sounds like a complete nightmare to write a parser for. It might even be easier to treat the input string as a 2D grid than as a sequence and have a parsing head that behaves like a 2x2 convolutional kernel... This would make for either a great Advent of Code, or a nightmare interview question, I love it. |

Blocks are parsed in the following way: when we get the beginning count of block opening characters, we move Y by one, loop right while whitespace, until we encounter ending count of block characters.
In transposed block, we just switch X and Y, it is easily done with pointers, and use the same code.
