branch combinator for the chumsky parsing library

//! This crate defines three parsing combinators for the [chumsky parsing library](chumsky):
//! 
//!  - [`not_starting_with`]: This combinator takes a list of patterns, and
//!    matches the shortest string from the input that diverges from all
//!    patterns.
//!  - [`not_containing`]: This combinator takes a list of patterns, and
//!    any string that does not contain any of the patterns.
//!  - [`branch`]: This combinator allows branching into a parser. Each
//!    branch defines two parsers. When the first parser matches, it
//!    chooses that branch and that branch only, even if the second parser
//!    fails. The second parser is then used to produce the output type.
//!    You can combine as many branches as you want (similar to `if else`).
//!    Then, you have to define an else branch which just takes a `String`
//!    and needs to produce output from that. Useful if you want to parse
//!    verbatim input plus some syntax.
//!
//! # Example
//!
//! ```rust
//! use chumsky::prelude::*;
//! use chumsky_branch::prelude::*;
//!
//! #[derive(Debug, Eq, PartialEq)]
//! enum Token {
//! 	Placeholder(String),
//! 	Comment(String),
//! 	Verbatim(String)
//! }
//!
//! impl Token {
//! 	fn lexer() -> impl Parser<char, Self, Error = Simple<char>> {
//! 		branch(
//! 			"{{",
//! 			text::ident().then_ignore(just("}}")).map(Self::Placeholder)
//! 		)
//! 		.or_branch(
//! 			"/*",
//! 			not_containing(["*/"])
//! 				.then_ignore(just("*/"))
//! 				.map(Self::Comment)
//! 		)
//! 		.or_else(Self::Verbatim)
//! 	}
//! }
//!
//! fn lexer() -> impl Parser<char, Vec<Token>, Error = Simple<char>> {
//! 	Token::lexer().repeated().then_ignore(end())
//! }
//!
//! let input = "/* Greet the user */Hello {{name}}!";
//! assert_eq!(&lexer().parse(input).unwrap(), &[
//! 	Token::Comment(" Greet the user ".to_owned()),
//! 	Token::Verbatim("Hello ".to_owned()),
//! 	Token::Placeholder("name".to_owned()),
//! 	Token::Verbatim("!".to_owned())
//! ]);
//! ```
