The following functions and data types have been renamed:
* ‘permute’ → ‘makePermParser’
* ‘buildExpressionParser’ → ‘makeExprParser’
* ‘GenLanguageDef’ → ‘LanguageDef’
* ‘GenTokenParser’ → ‘Lexer’
* ‘makeTokenParser’ → ‘makeLexer’
* Removed ‘optionMaybe’ parser, because ‘optional’ from
‘Control.Applicative’ does the same thing.
* Renamed ‘tokenPrim’ → ‘token’, removed old ‘token’, because
‘tokenPrim’ is more general and ‘token’ is little used.
* Fixed bug with ‘notFollowedBy’ always succeeded with parsers that
don't consume input, see #6.
* Hint system introduced that greatly improved quality of error messages
and made code of ‘Text.Megaparsec.Prim’ a lot clearer.
The improvements affected other modules too:
* Some parsers from ‘Text.Megaparsec.Combinators’ now live in
‘Text.Megaparsec.Prim’.
* Hint system improved error messages, so I needed to rewrite test for
‘Text.Megaparsec.Char.eol’, since it's error messages are very
intelligent now and cannot be emulated by ‘newline’ and ‘crlf’ parsers
used separately.
* Test for Bug9 from old-tests is passed successfully again.
This parser can be told to parse from ‘m’ to ‘n’ occurrences of some
thing. Old parser ‘count’ is now named ‘count’' and defined in terms of
that more powerful one.
This commit also reorders functions in module
‘Text.Megaparsec.Combinator’ and everywhere where the functions are
listed. The same order is used everywhere.
Added new character parsers in ‘Text.Megaparsec.Char’:
* ‘controlChar’
* ‘printChar’
* ‘markChar’
* ‘numberChar’
* ‘punctuationChar’
* ‘symbolChar’
* ‘separatorChar’
* ‘asciiChar’
* ‘latin1Char’
* ‘charCategory’
Renamed some parsers:
‘spaces’ → ‘space’
‘space’ → ‘spaceChar’
‘lower’ → ‘lowerChar’
‘upper’ → ‘upperChar’
‘letter’ → ‘letterChar’
‘alphaNum’ → ‘alphaNumChar’
‘digit’ → ‘digitChar’
‘octDigit’ → ‘octDigitChar’
‘hexDigit’ → ‘hexDigitChar’
Descriptions of old parsers have been updated to accent some
Unicode-specific moments. For example, old description of ‘letter’
stated that it parses letters from “a” to “z” and from “A” to “Z”. This
is wrong, since it used ‘Data.Char.isAlpha’ predicate internally and
thus parsed many more characters.
These functions are now re-exported from ‘Control.Applicative’
module. ‘many’ and ‘some’ are now part of ‘Alternative’ instance of
‘ParsecT’.
Note that these functions are re-exported only in ‘Text.MegaParsec’
module, but not in ‘Text.MegaParsec.Prim’ to avoid duplication of
floating doc-strings. Others internal modules now just casually import
‘Control.Applicative’ for their needs.
Note that ‘many1’ was renamed to ‘some’, the same is done for other
parsers that had ‘many1’ part in their names (for consistency).
