// Parser is the workhorse of parsify. A parser takes a State and returns a result, consuming some

// Given state is shared there are a few rules that should be followed:
//  - A parser that errors must set state.Error
//  - A parser that errors must not change state.Pos
//  - A parser that consumed some input should advance state.Pos

// Parserish types are any type that can be turned into a Parser by Parsify

// ```go
// var group Parser
// group = Seq("(", Maybe(&group), ")")
// ```
// vs
// ```go
// var group ParserPtr{}
// group.P = Seq(Exact("("), Maybe(group.Parse), Exact(")"))
