badness_parser/semantic/xparse.rs
1//! Parser for the **xparse argument specification** mini-language — the string in
2//! the second group of `\NewDocumentCommand{\foo}{<spec>}{…}` (and the environment
3//! variants). It describes argument shapes; processing behavior is ignored.
4//!
5//! The full grammar is tokenized so the cursor never desyncs on a type's trailing
6//! material (delimiter tokens, `{default}` groups, embellishment sets). But our
7//! [`ArgSpec`] model only distinguishes a `{…}` [`ArgKind::Brace`] from a `[…]`
8//! [`ArgKind::Bracket`] slot, because that is all the CST produces and all a
9//! consumer (the formatter's arity glue) can act on. So an [`ArgSpec`] is emitted
10//! **only** for argument types that yield an actual `{…}`/`[…]` node:
11//!
12//! - `m` → required brace; `o`, `O{default}` → optional bracket.
13//! - `r⟨t1⟩⟨t2⟩` / `R⟨…⟩{default}` (required delimited) and `d⟨t1⟩⟨t2⟩` /
14//! `D⟨…⟩{default}` (optional delimited) → an [`ArgSpec`] **only** when the
15//! delimiters are literally `[`/`]` (bracket) or `{`/`}` (brace); other delimiters
16//! (`(`/`)`, `<`/`>`, …) produce no CST node, so no slot.
17//! - `s` (star), `t⟨token⟩` (optional token), `v` (verbatim), and `e`/`E`
18//! (embellishments) produce no `{…}`/`[…]` node, so no slot — but their trailing
19//! material is still consumed.
20//!
21//! This keeps the emitted slot count equal to the `GROUP`/`OPTIONAL` nodes the
22//! greedy parser actually attaches, which is what the formatter counts. Modifiers
23//! (`+`, `!`) and argument processors (`>{…}`) are skipped. Unknown type letters
24//! stop the scan (conservative: never panic, never invent slots).
