Congress.gov legislation text query syntax parser.
Documentation
//! Opinionated parser for [Congress.gov](https://www.congress.gov)'s
//! [legislation text search](https://www.congress.gov/help/search-tools-overview)
//! query syntax.
//!
//! Congress.gov's query parser is fairly permissive and allows some queries
//! whose semantics are unclear. This library is opinionated in that it rules
//! out some queries that will both parse and run on Congress.gov. For example,
//! double negatives, nested `MUST` and `SHOULD` queries, and `MUST`/`SHOULD` groups
//! inside proximity queries will "work" on Congress.gov, but it's not clear
//! what such queries are supposed to mean. Additionally, `NOT` queries inside
//! of `MUST`/`SHOULD` groups will parse and run, but it appears that the
//! Congress.gov parser ignores or removes the `!` in those cases. So this
//! library only allows negating terms at the top level.
//!
//! This library also has some built-in functionality for simplifying queries,
//! specifically removing redundant terms, extraneous parentheses, and the `MUST`
//! operator, the latter because the default connective for Congress.gov search
//! is `AND`, so the `MUST` is always unnecessary. Simplification also includes
//! grouping consecutive `SHOULD` terms, like `~a ~b`, into `~(a b)`.
//!
//! `aqp` stands for "Advanced Query Parser". Background on that is available
//! from [this Solr Jira ticket](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-14597).
//! The `3` in the crate name is because this my third attempt at putting together
//! this crate.
//!
//! Below is a grammar for the query syntax as implemented by this package,
//! though the implementation may have drifted from what's described below. The
//! implementation should be considered the normative version of the syntax for
//! the purposes of this crate. Paste the grammar into the [Ohm Editor](https://ohmjs.org/editor/)
//! to experiment with it and test example queries.
//!
//! ```ignore
//! Query {
//!
//!    Exp = ( ParenExp | Prox | Boolean | term | not )+
//!     
//!    ParenExp =  "(" Exp ")"
//!         
//!    Prox = ( "n" | "N" |  "w" | "W" ) "/" digit+ ParenProxArgs
//!     
//!    ParenProxArgs = "(" ( ProxArgs | ParenProxArgs ) ")"
//!         
//!    ProxArgs = literal+ | ( Prox | Boolean | nonliteral )+
//!         
//!    Boolean = ("+" | "~") ( BoolArgs | ParenBoolArgs )
//!     
//!    ParenBoolArgs = "(" ( BoolArgs+ | ParenBoolArgs+ ) ")"
//!     
//!    BoolArgs =  Prox | Boolean | term
//!     
//!    // tokens
//!         
//!    term = nonliteral | literal
//!         
//!    nonliteral = wildcard | phrase | bare
//!         
//!    phrase = "\"" ( bare | space )+ "\""
//!         
//!    literal = "'" bare "'"
//!         
//!    wildcard = bare "*"
//!         
//!    not = "!" term
//!     
//!    // may need to add more punctuation
//!
//!    bare = ( alnum | space | "," | "." | "%" | "$" )+ ~"/"
//!         
//! }
//! ```
