-- | The parser @anyToken@ accepts any kind of token. It is for example

anyToken :: (Stream s m t, Show t) => ParsecT s u m t
anyToken            = tokenPrim show (\pos _tok _toks -> pos) Just

-- | This parser only succeeds at the end of the input. This is not a
-- primitive parser but it is defined using 'notFollowedBy'.
--
-- >  eof  = notFollowedBy anyToken <?> "end of input"

eof :: (Stream s m t, Show t) => ParsecT s u m ()

-- | @notFollowedBy p@ only succeeds when parser @p@ fails. This parser
-- does not consume any input. This parser can be used to implement the
-- \'longest match\' rule. For example, when recognizing keywords (for
-- example @let@), we want to make sure that a keyword is not followed
-- by a legal identifier character, in which case the keyword is
-- actually an identifier (for example @lets@). We can program this
-- behaviour as follows:
--
-- >  keywordLet  = try (do{ string "let"
-- >                       ; notFollowedBy alphaNum
-- >                       })

-- | @manyTill p end@ applies parser @p@ /zero/ or more times until

-- >                      ; manyTill anyChar (try (string "-->"))
-- >                      }
--
--    Note the overlapping parsers @anyChar@ and @string \"<!--\"@, and
--    therefore the use of the 'try' combinator.
