Description

@Geod24

/**
* Construct an emitter.
*
* Params: stream = Output range to write to.
* canonical = Write scalars in canonical form?
* indent = Indentation width.
* lineBreak = Line break character/s.
*/
this(Range stream, const bool canonical, const int indent, const int width,
const LineBreak lineBreak) @safe
{
states_.reserve(32);
indents_.reserve(32);
stream_ = stream;
canonical_ = canonical;
nextExpected!"expectStreamStart"();
if(indent > 1 && indent < 10){bestIndent_ = indent;}
if(width > bestIndent_ * 2) {bestWidth_ = width;}
bestLineBreak_ = lineBreak;
analysis_.flags.isNull = true;
}

@WebFreaK remarked that (on L176):

why are the given in values ignored in other cases? shouldn't this rather be using contracts?

The parameters in question are not documented either.
