What Parsec used is called “FreeBSD” or “BSD 2 clause”. Addition of the
third clause may require contacting all the authors. To hell with it,
let it be “FreeBSD” (which is anyway better than “BSD-like”), I'm a
hacker, not a lawyer (tm).
This commit clarifies license of the software replacing “BSD3” with more
conventional “BSD 3 clause”.
Another change is addition of the third clause originally missing in
license of Parsec (which is licensed under BSD 2 clause license). The
addition of the third clause in form:
* Neither the names of the copyright holders nor the names of
contributors may be used to endorse or promote products derived from
this software without specific prior written permission.
does not violate original BSD 2 clause license effectively making it BSD
3 clause license (which I find preferable).

The method allows to fail with arbitrary collection of
messages. ‘unexpected’ is not defined in terms of ‘failure’. One
consequence of this design decision is that ‘failure’ is now method of
‘MonadParsec’, while ‘unexpected’ is not.
Close#47, close#57.
This commit introduces ‘runParser'’ and ‘runParserT'’ functions that
take and return parser state. This makes it possible to partially parse
input, resume parsing, specify non-standard initial textual position,
etc.
Internal changes involve some refactoring to make ‘Reply’ more
readable and facilitate extraction of complete parser state on failure
as well as success.
The commit adds basic tests for the new functionality as well.
Closes#38.
Now tab width can be manipulated with via the following functions:
* ‘getTabWidth’
* ‘setTabWidth’
Other auxiliary changes were performed, such as updating of
‘updatePosChar’.
This also corrects a bit obsolete descriptions of some functions.
Closes#35.
Since ‘many’ (and thus ‘some’) are the only combinator that can succeed
consuming input and produce hints at the same time we can conclude that
‘cok'’ continuation in ‘pLabel’ combinator is only called when ‘many’ is
labelled. By correcting label in this case prepending the phrase “rest
of ” to actual label we can greatly improve result error message.
Closes#29.
Now testing function can return ‘Either [Message] a’ so it can construct
full list of error messages. This may be useful in some cases when
tokens are more complex than simple characters.
