    This utility class is used to track the state of the BlockParser and 
    support multiple levels if nesting. It's just a simple API wrapped around
    a list. Each time a state is set, that state is appended to the end of the
    list. Each time a state is reset, that state is removed from the end of
    the list.

    Therefore, each time a state is set for a nested block, that state must be 
    reset when we back out of that level of nesting or the state could be
    corrupted.

    While all the methods of a list object are available, only the three
    defined below need be used.
