Description

After an internal discussion with @plafosse, creating a "token stream" set of APIs that improve dealing with DisassemblyText{Line,Token} types would offer UX (PX? Programmer experience?) improvements and also potentially large performance gains.

More detail/planning is needed, creating this issue as a reminder.
