-- Building a permutation parser

-- | The expression @perm \<||> p@ adds parser @p@ to the permutation
-- parser @perm@. The parser @p@ is not allowed to accept empty input — use
-- the optional combinator ('<|?>') instead. Returns a new permutation
-- parser that includes @p@.

(<||>) :: Stream s Identity tok => StreamPermParser s st (a -> b) ->
          Parsec s st a -> StreamPermParser s st b
(<||>) = add

-- | The expression @f \<$$> p@ creates a fresh permutation parser
-- consisting of parser @p@. The the final result of the permutation parser
-- is the function @f@ applied to the return value of @p@. The parser @p@ is
-- not allowed to accept empty input - use the optional combinator ('<$?>')
-- instead.
--
-- If the function @f@ takes more than one parameter, the type variable @b@
-- is instantiated to a functional type which combines nicely with the adds
-- parser @p@ to the ('<||>') combinator. This results in stylized code
-- where a permutation parser starts with a combining function @f@ followed
-- by the parsers. The function @f@ gets its parameters in the order in
-- which the parsers are specified, but actual input can be in any order.

(<$$>) :: Stream s Identity tok => (a -> b) ->
          Parsec s st a -> StreamPermParser s st b
f <$$> p = newperm f <||> p

-- | The expression @perm \<||> (x, p)@ adds parser @p@ to the
-- permutation parser @perm@. The parser @p@ is optional — if it can not be
-- applied, the default value @x@ will be used instead. Returns a new
-- permutation parser that includes the optional parser @p@.

(<|?>) :: Stream s Identity tok => StreamPermParser s st (a -> b) ->
          (a, Parsec s st a) -> StreamPermParser s st b
perm <|?> (x, p) = addopt perm x p

-- | The expression @f \<$?> (x, p)@ creates a fresh permutation parser
-- consisting of parser @p@. The the final result of the permutation parser
-- is the function @f@ applied to the return value of @p@. The parser @p@ is
-- optional — if it can not be applied, the default value @x@ will be used
-- instead.

          (a, Parsec s st a) -> StreamPermParser s st b

-- The permutation tree

-- | The type @StreamPermParser s st a@ denotes a permutation parser that,
-- when converted by the 'permute' function, parses @s@ streams with user
-- state @st@ and returns a value of type @a@ on success.
--
-- Normally, a permutation parser is first build with special operators like
-- ('<||>') and than transformed into a normal parser using 'permute'.

data StreamPermParser s st a = Perm (Maybe a) [StreamBranch s st a]

data StreamBranch s st a =
    forall b. Branch (StreamPermParser s st (b -> a)) (Parsec s st b)

-- | The parser @permute perm@ parses a permutation of parser described
-- by @perm@. For example, suppose we want to parse a permutation of: an
-- optional string of @a@'s, the character @b@ and an optional @c@. This can
-- be described by:
--
-- > test = permute (tuple <$?> ("", some (char 'a'))
-- >                       <||> char 'b'
-- >                       <|?> ('_', char 'c'))
-- >          where tuple a b c  = (a, b, c)
