 */

/**
 * Decode a TONL formatted string back to JavaScript value.
 *
 * Parses TONL text and converts it to JavaScript objects, arrays,
 * and primitives. Supports auto-detection of delimiters and handles
 * all TONL features including tabular data, multiline strings, and
 * nested structures.
 *
 * @param text - The TONL formatted string to decode
 * @param opts - Decoding options
 * @param opts.delimiter - Override delimiter detection: "," | "|" | "\t" | ";" (default: auto-detect)
 * @param opts.strict - Enable strict parsing mode (default: false)
 * @returns Parsed JavaScript value (object, array, or primitive)
 * @throws {TONLParseError} When TONL syntax is invalid
 * @throws {TONLParseError} When delimiter is invalid
 * @throws {TONLParseError} When maximum nesting depth exceeded
 *
 * @example
 * ```typescript
 * // Basic decoding
 * const data = decodeTONL(`
 * #version 1.0
 * root:
 *   name: Alice
 *   age: 30
 * `);
 * // Result: { name: 'Alice', age: 30 }
 *
 * // With explicit delimiter
 * const data = decodeTONL(tonlString, { delimiter: '|' });
 *
 * // Strict mode for validation
 * const data = decodeTONL(tonlString, { strict: true });
 * ```
 *
 * @since 1.0.0
 * @see encodeTONL - For encoding JavaScript to TONL
 * @see TONLDocument.parse - For document-based API
