+    #   * 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:
