//! Zero-dependency library with no-std support for writing parsers in a concise functional style
//! & with rich error-reporting.
//!
//! Kinds of errors are distinguished via a user-defined `Reason` type, which signals what did
//! a parser expect.
//! A [`ParsingError`] can also have no reason, which will mean that the error is recoverable.
//!
//! Some built-in parsers can have [`core::convert::Infallible`] as their error reason,
//! which means that any error the parser may ever return is recoverable.
//!
//! The distinction between recoverable & fatal errors is important for parsers that need to try
//! multiple options.
//!
//! Error reporting with precise location in the source is facilitated by
//! constructing a [`FullParsingError`] with methods such as
//! [`Parser::with_full_error`], [`ParsingError::with_src_loc`]
