Just nitpicking: It is the state of a LM tree, and in that sense
certainly a bit more than a potential area.

I'm not sure whether a lot of object creation has to take place.
Anyway, why not pass the stack size to the block and let it return
if it *has* to break, and let the parent ask for earlier breaks
only if this does not reconcile well with other conditions, for
example when reconciling breaks in the cells of a table row or
for list items.
