// Node is a structure used to represent a parse tree.
//
// In the node there are three fields, Value, Next, and Children. Value is the
// current token's string value. Next is always the next non-child token, and
// children contains all the children. Here's an example:
//
// (value next (child child-next child-next-next) next-next)
//
// This data structure is frankly pretty lousy for handling complex languages,
// but lucky for us the Dockerfile isn't very complicated. This structure
// works a little more effectively than a "proper" parse tree for our needs.
