I think we're supposed to avoid "i.e." in docs.

Done.

Nit: no type annotations here or for the functions below.

It might be nice to use StringScanner here to get nice error messages.

[Bob Nystrom, 2014/09/26 19:41:07]

Done.
I think that's probably overkill here. It already does an OK job of showing
where the error is.

[nweiz, 2014/09/26 19:44:23]

This array still has an annotation.

[Bob Nystrom, 2014/11/10 22:14:06]

Done.
