-- Shift all implicit arguments down by 1. Non-sequential numbered
-- parameters don't get shifted; however, this offset means that if the
-- input contains (e.g.) {{tl|l|en|3=alt}}, representing {{l|en|3=alt}},
-- the parameter at 3= is instead treated as sequential by this module,
-- because it's indistinguishable from {{tl|l|en|alt}}, which represents
-- {{l|en|alt}}. On the other hand, {{tl|l|en|4=tr}} is handled correctly,
-- because there's still a gap before 4=.
-- Unfortunately, there's no way to know the original input, so
-- there's no clear way to fix this; the only difference is that explicit
-- parameters have whitespace trimmed from their values while implicit ones
-- don't, but we can't assume that every input with no whitespace was given
-- with explicit numbering.
-- This also causes bigger problems for any parser functions which treat
-- their inputs as arrays, or in some other nonstandard way (e.g.
-- {{#IF:foo|bar=baz|qux}} treats "bar=baz" as parameter 1). Without
-- knowing the original input, these can't be reconstructed accurately.
-- The way around this is to use <nowiki> tags in the input, since this
-- module won't unstrip them by design.
