Library mparser

• MParser The MParser module is a monadic parser combinator library. The parser combinators provided by this module can be used to build parsers for context-sensitive, infinite look-ahead grammars that are reasonably efficient and produce good error messages due to a controlled use of backtracking. The performance of the resulting parsers should be sufficient for most applications. The parsers get their input from character streams provided by the MParser_Char_Stream module, which means that it is possible to parse files up to a size of at least 1GB.
• MParser_Char_Stream The MParser_Char_Stream module provides a position-based interface to character streams. The streams are optimized for applications that mostly read a stream sequentially and occasionally backtrack over a bounded distance, which is a common usage pattern of backtracking parsers.
• MParser_Sig
