Yes, the thinking was to allow it to be open-ended.
In this case, while I think we should specify the ability to use
`instanceof`-style checks with this API, I do not think it would be necessary
... there is no need for a subtype for `MarkdownTree`, nor would I expect there
to be one for any other kind of raw text.
