// Parse into flat format with cross-references
parse('a(b[c{d}])', {
brackets: ['()'],
escape: '\\',
flat: true
})
// ['a(\\1)', 'b[c{d}]']
// Stringify nested format
parse.stringify(['a(', ['b[', ['c{', ['d'], '}'], ']'], ')'])
// 'a(b[c{d}])'
// Stringify flat format with cross-references
parse.stringify(['a(\\1)', 'b[c{d}]'], {flat: true, escape: '\\'})
