//! Predefined character predicates.
//! 
//! This module contains a number of predefined character predicates that can be
//! used as predicate-functions in some of the parser combinators. In the library
//! predicates are not implemented as closures, but as functions. This allows
//! the predicates to be definded in one place. This ensures that the predicates
//! are not duplicated and that they are consistent throughout the library.
