//! The supertoken tower: a grammar-free unit one level above the token.
//!
//! A supertoken collapses a run of tokens - a clause, a statement, a line -
//! into a single unit tagged by a structural [`Role`]. The role is read from
//! punctuation, bracket shape, and token classes, never from a language's
//! keywords, so `x = 1`, `let x = 1`, and `x: 1` all read as bindings and
//! `foo(a)` reads as a call whatever the language. It is the layer above
//! [`crate::token`] and below a grammar, built from the same signals the
//! property axes use (the bracket stack for depth, the call / assignment /
//! key-value / list shapes for role), so one pass reads code, config, prose,
//! and logs with no per-format parser.
//!
//! `meaning carries, surface does not`: two lines that differ only in their
//! identifiers but share a role and a depth are the same supertoken.
