/**
	 * Scan to the next block delimiter in a document, indicating if one was found.
	 *
	 * Block comment delimiters must be valid HTML comments and may contain JSON.
	 * This search does not determine, however, if the JSON is valid.
	 *
	 * Example delimiters:
	 *
	 *     ``
	 *     ``
	 *     ``
	 *
	 * In the case that a block comment delimiter contains both the void indicator and
	 * also the closing indicator, it will be treated as a void block.
	 *
	 * Example:
	 *
	 *     // Find all image block opening delimiters.
	 *     $images = array();
	 *     $scanner = Block_Scanner::create( $html );
	 *     while ( $scanner->next_delimiter() ) {
	 *         if ( $scanner->opens_block( 'core/image' ) ) {
	 *             $images[] = $scanner->get_span();
	 *         }
	 *     }
	 *
	 * Not all blocks have explicit delimiters. Non-block content at the top-level of
	 * a document (so-called “HTML soup”) forms implicit blocks containing neither a
	 * block name nor block attributes. Because this content often comprises only
	 * HTML whitespace and adds undo performance burden, it is skipped by default.
	 * To scan the implicit freeform blocks, pass the `$freeform_blocks` argument.
	 *
	 * Example:
	 *
	 *     $html    = '\n';
	 *     $blocks  = [
	 *       [ 'blockName' => 'core/void' ],
	 *       [ 'blockName' => null ],
	 *       [ 'blockName' => 'core/void' ],
	 *     ];
	 *     $scanner = Block_Scanner::create( $html );
	 *     while ( $scanner->next_delimiter( freeform_blocks: 'visit' ) {
	 *         ...
	 *     }
	 *
	 * In some cases it may be useful to conditionally visit the implicit freeform
	 * blocks, such as when determining if a post contains freeform content that
	 * isn’t purely whitespace.
	 *
	 * Example:
	 *
	 *     $seen_block_types   = [];
	 *     $freeform_blocks    = 'visit';
	 *     $scanner            = Block_Scanner::create( $html );
	 *     while ( $scanner->next_delimiter( freeform_blocks: $freeform_blocks ) {

	 *         if ('visit' === $freeform_blocks ) {

	 *             }
