/**
 * Creates a new Description object given a body of text.
 *
 * Descriptions in phpDocumentor are somewhat complex entities as they can contain one or more tags inside their
 * body that can be replaced with a readable output. The replacing is done by passing a Formatter object to the
 * Description object's `render` method.
 *
 * In addition to the above does a Description support two types of escape sequences:
 *
 * 1. `{@}` to escape the `@` character to prevent it from being interpreted as part of a tag, i.e. `{{@}link}`
 * 2. `{}` to escape the `}` character, this can be used if you want to use the `}` character in the description
 *    of an inline tag.
 *
 * If a body consists of multiple lines then this factory will also remove any superfluous whitespace at the beginning
 * of each line while maintaining any indentation that is used. This will prevent formatting parsers from tripping
 * over unexpected spaces as can be observed with tag descriptions.
