Class IndentationAwareTokenBuilder<Terminals, KeywordName>

A token builder that is sensitive to indentation in the input text. It will generate tokens for indentation and dedentation based on the indentation level.

The first generic parameter corresponds to the names of terminal tokens, while the second one corresponds to the names of keyword tokens. Both parameters are optional and can be imported from ./generated/ast.js.

Inspired by https://github.com/chevrotain/chevrotain/blob/master/examples/lexer/python_indentation/python_indentation.js
