A not too generic parser for strings in Rust

This parser exists take some of the generics and macros pain out of parsing.

A parser is anything that implements the Parser Trait

```rust

pub type ParseRes<'a, V> = Result<(LCChars<'a>, V), ParseError>;

pub trait Parser: Sized { fn parse<'a>(&self, i: &LCChars<'a>) -> ParseRes<'a, V>; //... } ``` This is automatically implemented for any function with the same signature.

LCChars is a wrapper around the "Chars" iterator which tracks line number and column number. This is to help return the correct errors.

the main.rs file is an example parser.

Mostly you will be combining functions with then(), ig_then(), then_ig(), and or()

Example:

```rust use gobble::*; let ident = || { readfs(isalpha, 1) .then(readfs(isalphanum, 0)) .map(|(mut a, b)| { a.pushstr(&b); a }) };

let fsig = ident() .thenig(tag("(")) .then(sep(ident(), tag(","), true)) .thenig(tag(")"));

let (nm, args) = fsig.parses("loadFile1(fname,ref)").unwrap(); asserteq!(nm, "loadFile1"); assert_eq!(args, vec!["fname", "ref"]);

assert!(fsig.parses("23file(fname,ref)").iserr());

```

Changelog:

v 0.1.1 :

Added eoi and to_end() functions for making sure you have the end of the input; Also added common_str() for getting the most common form of string
