its a bit more nuanced than applicative lifting. parts of of SAP is that, but there's also supporting strings that don't have quotation marks, supporting recursive types, supporting unescaped quotes like: `"hi i wanted to say "hi""`, supporting markdown blocks inside of things that look like "json", etc.

but applicative lifting is a big part of it as well!
