Text-specific parsers and utilities.

“Ford!“ he said, “there’s an infinite number of monkeys outside who want to talk to us about this script for Hamlet they’ve worked out.”

The parsers in this module are generic over both Unicode (char) and ASCII (u8) characters. Most parsers take a type parameter, C, that can be either u8 or char in order to handle either case.

The TextParser trait is an extension on top of the main Parser trait that adds combinators unique to the parsing of text.
