Intralinear partitioning

Professionally, I put code together. Intimately, I am compelled to make it neat: I get closer to that goal by wielding non-printable characters like monochrome photography uses light, with purpose.

The current status quo regarding whitespace, in my line of work, limits our stylistic expression:

• vertically to the linefeed¹ (coalescing into blank lines), to pack together logical blocks of data or instructions, and
• horizontally to the beginning of the line (in the form of indentation), to delineate the hierarchy of our otherwise strictly vertically-topologically-laid-out content.

But here's the thing: the taxonomy of text shouldn't be limited to paragraphs and lines.
Let's go bidimensional!
