Originally created by @xoofx on GitHub (Jun 22, 2016).

While the top level main loop for parsing blocks in BlockProcessor is quite simple, the underlying methods TryContinueBlocks and TryOpenBlocks are not simple.

This is partly due to the complexity of lazy continuation for Paragraph (see Parsing strategy for blocks in the CommonMark specs).
This is also partly due to the different methods used by the different BlockParsers to create/modify blocks.

Check if we could simplify the code here and the API for block parsers.
