"""Functional parsing combinators.
Parsing combinators define an internal domain-specific language (DSL) for describing
the parsing rules of a grammar. The DSL allows you to start with a few primitive
parsers, then combine your parsers to get more complex ones, and finally cover
the whole grammar you want to parse.
The structure of the language:
* Class `Parser`
* All the primitives and combinators of the language return `Parser` objects
* It defines the main `Parser.parse(tokens)` method
* Primitive parsers
* `tok(type, value)`, `a(value)`, `some(pred)`, `forward_decl()`, `finished`
* Parser combinators
* `p1 + p2`, `p1 | p2`, `p >> f`, `-p`, `maybe(p)`, `many(p)`, `oneplus(p)`,
`skip(p)`
* Abstraction
* Use regular Python variables `p = ... # Expression of type Parser` to define new
rules (non-terminals) of your grammar
Every time you apply one of the combinators, you get a new `Parser` object. In other
words, the set of `Parser` objects is closed under the means of combination.
!!! Note
We took the parsing combinators language from the book [Introduction to Functional
Programming][1] and translated it from ML into Python.

The generic variables in the type are: `A` — the type of the tokens in the
sequence to parse,`B` — the type of the parsed value.
In order to define a parser for your grammar:
1. You start with primitive parsers by calling `a(value)`, `some(pred)`,
`forward_decl()`, `finished`
2. You use parsing combinators `p1 + p2`, `p1 | p2`, `p >> f`, `many(p)`, and
others to combine parsers into a more complex parser

the rules of your grammar

a 4-tuple, etc. of parsed values. You avoid this by transforming the parsed
pair into a new value using the `>>` combinator.
You can also skip some parsing results in the resulting parsers by using `-p`

result might be a single value, not a tuple of parsed values. See the docs
