	 * Parsed blocks consist of a list of top-level blocks. Those top-level
	 * blocks may themselves contain nested inner blocks. However, every
	 * top-level block is rendered independently, meaning there are no data
	 * dependencies between them.
	 *
	 * Ideally, therefore, the parser would only need to parse one complete
	 * top-level block at a time, render it, and move on. Unfortunately, this
	 * is not possible with {@see \parse_blocks()} because it must parse the
	 * entire given document at once.
	 *
	 * While the current implementation prevents this optimization, it’s still
	 * possible to reduce the peak memory use when calls to `render_block()`
	 * on those top-level blocks are memory-heavy (which many of them are).
	 * By setting each parsed block to `NULL` after rendering it, any memory
	 * allocated during the render will be freed and reused for the next block.
	 * Before making this change, that memory was retained and would lead to
	 * out-of-memory crashes for certain posts that now run with this change.
