Fourth Checkpoint, Getting Started with Rust by Building a Tiny Markdown Compiler (https://jesselawson.org/tutorials)

// The purpose of this checkpoint is to ensure that you have a complete copy
// of the code in the tutorial up to the checkpoint. I want you to tinker and
// explore, but to keep up with the rest of the tutorial, make sure your
// code matches this checkpoint.
