case class Error (msg: String, next: Input) extends NoSuccess with Product with Serializable
The fatal failure case of ParseResult: contains an error-message and the remaining input.
The fatal failure case of ParseResult: contains an error-message and the remaining input. No back-tracking is done when a parser returns an Error.
msg
An error message string describing the error.
next
The parser's unconsumed input at the point where the error occurred.

case class Failure (msg: String, next: Input) extends NoSuccess with Product with Serializable
The failure case of ParseResult: contains an error-message and the remaining input.
The failure case of ParseResult: contains an error-message and the remaining input. Parsing will back-track when a failure occurs.
msg
An error message string describing the failure.

sealed abstract class ParseResult [+T] extends AnyRef
A base class for parser results.
A base class for parser results. A result is either successful or not (failure may be fatal, i.e., an Error, or not, i.e., a Failure). On success, provides a result of type T which consists of some result (and the rest of the input).

abstract class Parser [+T] extends (Input) ⇒ ParseResult[T]
The root class of parsers.
The root class of parsers. Parsers are functions from the Input type to ParseResult.

case class Success [+T](result: T, next: Input) extends ParseResult[T] with Product with Serializable
The success case of ParseResult: contains the result and the remaining input.

case class ~ [+a, +b](_1: a, _2: b) extends Product with Serializable
A wrapper over sequence of matches.
A wrapper over sequence of matches.
Given p1: Parser[A] and p2: Parser[B], a parser composed with p1 ~ p2 will have type Parser[~[A, B]]. The successful result of the parser can be extracted from this case class.
It also enables pattern matching, so something like this is possible:
```
def concat(p1: Parser[String], p2: Parser[String]): Parser[String] =
  p1 ~ p2 ^^ { case a ~ b => a + b }
```

def accept[U](expected: String, f: PartialFunction[Elem, U]): Parser[U]
The parser that matches an element in the domain of the partial function f.
The parser that matches an element in the domain of the partial function f.
If f is defined on the first element in the input, f is applied to it to produce this parser's result.
Example: The parser accept("name", {case Identifier(n) => Name(n)}) accepts an Identifier(n) and returns a Name(n)
expected
a description of the kind of element this parser expects (for error messages)
f
a partial function that determines when this parser is successful and what its output is
returns
A parser that succeeds if f is applicable to the first element of the input, applying f to it to produce the result.

def accept[ES](es: ES)(implicit arg0: (ES) ⇒ List[Elem]): Parser[List[Elem]]
A parser that matches only the given list of element es.
A parser that matches only the given list of element es.
accept(es) succeeds if the input subsequently provides the elements in the list es.
es

returns
a Parser that recognizes a specified list of elements

Definition Classes
Parsers
implicit def accept(e: Elem): Parser[Elem]
A parser that matches only the given element e.
A parser that matches only the given element e.
The method is implicit so that elements can automatically be lifted to their parsers. For example, when parsing Tokens, Identifier("new") (which is a Token) can be used directly, instead of first creating a Parser using accept(Identifier("new")).
e
the Elem that must be the next piece of input for the returned parser to succeed
returns
a tParser that succeeds if e is the next available input.

Definition Classes
Parsers
def acceptIf(p: (Elem) ⇒ Boolean)(err: (Elem) ⇒ String): Parser[Elem]

acceptIf(p)(el => "Unexpected "+el) succeeds if the input starts with an element e for which p(e) is true.
p
A predicate that determines which elements match.
err
A function from the received element into an error message.
returns
A parser for elements satisfying p(e).

Definition Classes
Parsers
def acceptMatch[U](expected: String, f: PartialFunction[Elem, U]): Parser[U]
The parser that matches an element in the domain of the partial function f.
The parser that matches an element in the domain of the partial function f.
If f is defined on the first element in the input, f is applied to it to produce this parser's result.
Example: The parser acceptMatch("name", {case Identifier(n) => Name(n)}) accepts an Identifier(n) and returns a Name(n)
expected
a description of the kind of element this parser expects (for error messages)
f
a partial function that determines when this parser is successful and what its output is
returns
A parser that succeeds if f is applicable to the first element of the input, applying f to it to produce the result.
