this code is very similar to the original main differences here are:
 - switched /** to /// to be consistent with the convention of this package
 - renamed CodePrinter to NestedPrinter
 - introduced NestedItem below
 - got rid of Declarations (too specific about generating Dart code)
 - adjusted comments to use NestedItem instead of 'CodePrinter' and
'Declarations'

+/// source maps, but additionally allows nesting of different kind of items,
+/// including [NestedPrinter]s, and it let's you automatically indent text.
+///
+/// This class is especially useful when doing code generation, where different
+/// peices of the code are generated independently on separate printers, and are
+/// finally put together in the end.
